Stefani, I looked at this painting and immediately thought of you. It has similar qualities of your work. This and the following pieces were painted by Chiura Obata. These pieces were large, they are paint and ink on silk. This artist passed away in 1975, I believe this painting was painted around 1930.
This painting is also large and it blew me away. (The label by this painting could have said, Stefani Job Spears, and I would have believed it.) To paint in black and white has to take a lot discipline. I am trying to learn this kind of restraint. One day soon I should try painting in black and white - I would probably learn a lot.
This is a detail of a painting that Obata painted of his wife walking through a forest. My images of the entire painting needed photo shop because they are too dark. This detail turned out lovely. I need to see more of his work.

Yes, you do because half a body standing around is not complete.
