Key Details

Artist: Lois DeWitt
Medium: Colored pencil on paper
Dimensions: 3.5" × 4.5"
Subject: Abstract interior / still life and window view
Interior 9 is an original 3.5" × 4.5" colored-pencil drawing on paper by contemporary artist Lois DeWitt.
This compact, high-energy artwork presents a stylized interior perspective looking outward through a window. Geometric tabletop forms occupy the foreground, while an abstract exterior view opens beyond them. The result is a lively domestic scene transformed into a mosaic of bold shapes, shifting angles, and vivid non-literal color.
Technical Details and Style
- Medium: Professional-grade colored pencils on high-quality art paper.
- Technique: Dense, heavily layered pencil applications create an ultra-saturated, painterly surface. Sharp outlines combine with smooth color transitions, while crimson shadows beneath the tabletop vessels add immediate graphic contrast.
- Style: Cubist-inspired Expressionism, emphasizing flattened spatial depth, shifting perspective lines, and an imaginative color landscape.
- Composition: A vertical, multi-tiered perspective places the sharply angled orange tabletop in the lower half of the image, supporting cylindrical vessels and a curved blue bowl with spherical fruit forms. Above, a divided window frame opens to branching blue tree shapes against bright fields.
- Color palette: Intense tangerine, bright canary yellow, and warm peach are set against cerulean and cobalt blues, with lime greens and soft lilac undertones adding balance.
