Marilynne Bradley - Opera Series

To develop the concept for each painting, Bradley read the libretto to learn the story of each opera.  Each artwork is 
a storytelling of the action of the opera in a single composition. It is so interesting to see what Bradley chose to use to represent the whole opera in a single painting!  The watercolors are held together by using a linear design quality and juxtaposing the intensity of color.  The opera painting below is La Rondine.
