DESCRIPTION: There’s a famous Whistler painting called Arrangement in Grey and Black, also known as Whistler’s Mother. In some ways, this is also an arrangement in white, black, and grey. Beyond the formal considerations, the subject is of interest to the viewer. Here, it is a woman tying a shoelace. For me, it is the challenge to draw the intricacies of that seemingly simple action.
