Arizona Pastel Artists Association (APAA) Award of Creativity – Phoenix On The Stairs, Artist Beth Kupper-Herr
The limited palette of this painting emphasizes the cool gaze of the young woman as she sits awkwardly on the stairs, with her arms uplifted in a somewhat protective attitude. A strong shadow looms behind her and delineates the dark, crooked stairway that she has just descended. This is an intimate, but unsentimental portrait of a young woman who challenges us with her unflinching stare.
