<p>[QUOTE=&quot;reader, post: 2418832, member: 255&quot;]Great research Cheryl. I agree that these (esp. Queen and the last one) are far more similar to journeymag’s painting but IMO her style must have drastically changed as I still see no similarity between the African American painting and the Odalisque. I also see similarity in technique on the trees with the birds to the Odalisque trees. All these paintings are far more naive. Since seeing these I have to agree with Liz that it appears to be a self portrait but what a crazy change in style from the first images posted of her work. To my eye the change is night and day but that’s true of many artists.</p><p><br /></p><p>I do disagree with those that think the Odalisque appears amateur or untrained. It’s just naive. If one considers the work of Joan Brown e.g. it’s hard not to think a talented child was the painter yet she was</p><p>an educated sophisticated artist who remains highly collectible and is in major American museums. I know nothing of this artist but still feel that journeymagazine needs to formally authenticate the work with the family but that’s just my opinion.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
