The Shadow

My father painted this in oil as a copy of an original painting featured in a book. Unfortunately he doesn't remember the original artist, and, so far, I have not found it on the Internet.

Thanks to Ann and Dida for identifying the original artwork as The Shadow by Charles Blackman, Australian artist. The Schoolgirl series 1950s.

I wonder if we (peeps her at Ipernity) manage to find the original by searching it collectively... It would be nice thing to try =)

Very good work of art your dad has done. Good use of colours.

Great team work! =) And now I found the original as well. I must say like the colours and overall atmosphere on your father's version more ;-) The darker shadow gives great contrast and feeling.
