Spanish Woman Oil on Canvas by Donald Scheves

This vibrant painting of a reflective Spanish lady gives its emotional power to a strong portrait with the intense use of color and thick brush. The lady's folkloric attire adds an aura of singularity to a powerful composition.
Schreve (1918-1993) was born in Nebraska and started out painting at an early age doing caricatures of family and friends.
He studied in Denver and Chicago and attended workshops at the Grande Chaumier in Paris and the Instituto in San Meguel De Allende, Mexico. His subject matter varies greatly, he is perhaps best known for his highly personal interpretations from imagination and memory of this vicinity.
