“Wellspring” is the title of this enchanting pastel piece by Elizabeth McNeil Harris. Surrounded by what appears to be petals, a young woman turns away from the viewer's eye with a faraway expression. The beautiful bedazzled neckline of her dress gleams and glistens as it sets itself apart from the rest of the piece. Furthermore, the fluttering petals succeed in drawing attention to the mysterious woman. The intensity of the dark blues and the softness of the cool blues set an evening tone. The filmy colors contribute to establishing delicacy to this mystifying work of art.
