Painting by Eve Ozer: Signed & Dated Enverso

Red drops fall across a sea-green ground and land, more or less, in a basket of dark blue weave.

Tea with Monet is a painting by Eve Ozer, made around 2018 in acrylic, wax and pencil on cradle board, signed and dated en verso. Cradle boards are a favored support for wax and layered media because they stay flat and rigid. A pale aqua ground fills the surface with scraped texture and pencil scribbles. At the center, a dark gray textured shape folds like a sheet of paper. Below sits a blue-black bowl patterned like woven reed, with red splatters scattered above. It is 16 inches wide and 20 high.

The water lilies are absent, but the mood is close.
