This painting features important qualities of Sue Ashline’s artistic approach, which often includes a whimsical arrangement of still life objects, a combination of abstract and representational elements, and a subtle use of color. This work was inspired by a German woodcut print in the Museum’s collection. Ashline also created and wore a shirt inspired by this print when she rode on a Spencer Museum float in a downtown Lawrence parade in 2010. Beyond her time in the studio, Ashline worked as the matter and framer at the Spencer Museum until her retirement in August 2018.
