This particular painting, "Open Window with Lab" is Pierre Bonnard inspired. It is oil on 14"x 11"x 1" stretched canvas. Here is what Sheila had to say about this piece: "I have been doing a Series called The Masters. I feel all art looks better with a Lab in it so this is Pierre Bonnard's "The Open Window" with Lab. As I was looking through my Bonnard's work I came across a picture called "The Red Checkered Tablecloth" . To my amazement...there is a Lab in it.!! I have been going around thinking I am channeling Bonnard!!
40% from the sale of this painting will go to the Lab Rescue of Cincinnati. Thanks for helping to save a Lab today!!"
