abstraction - schamehorn

these works are by a friend of mine; elizabeth schamehorn.  we used to belong to the same art gallery.  she used to paint local canadian landscapes.  but she too.. has evolved, blending ideas and emotions to create her masterpieces.

this work is called 'narcissus'.  does anyone know the greek myth about narcissus?  who was so in love with his reflection he couldn't move from the water side.  consequently, he starved to death......

in her work 'samuel champlain' you can see her inspirations - the samuel champlain statue in orillia, ontario, canada and the reflections of the waters of lake couchiching...

her work 'gaia' is inspired by the rocks of the area... but it also seems very familiar   anyone ever seen picasso's blue nude?
