Homage

Edward Hopper

American

"Homage"

My impression of this painting: 

We are suppose to tell what we think the artist is trying to tell us in this painting. I believe that Edward Hopper is trying to show us that the women may be seeing a ghost, maybe her friend, daughter, lady of the house who had died recently and follows her to remind her of who they were. The shading is amazing in this, even if it is painted it is hard to paint someone so lightly that they seem transparent. 

What I have learned: 

That Edward made this from oil paint and that he is quite famous for it. This was one of his rural scenes.
