About this artwork
This work was painted alla prima from a live model. I used palette knives and scrapers tp apply the paint, rather than my usual use of brushes, creating a "totem- like" feel to the final painting, This painting on paper is mounted on stretched linen, The decaled edges of the paper is left exposed to reveal the material used in the process .Painting can be purchased framed in the floater frame depicted or unframed if requested.

Christine Ritchie is an accomplished painter with a rich background, including a BFA and MFA from Pratt Institute, extensive international plein air studies, and decades of teaching and curatorial experience. Her expressive alla prima technique—applied to both vibrant figurative works and luminous landscapes—captures the immediacy of the moment, focusing on gesture, movement, and the intrinsic qualities of paint and surface. Through her art, she evokes a deep sense of shared humanity, inviting viewers to experience the rhythm, physicality, and emotional resonance of being present in both figure and nature.
