League at Large: Beatrice Barkin

This ongoing partnership between Nordstrom Local and League at Large features two spring-themed works by League student Beatrice Barkin, solicited through an open call. The two bold and lively still lifes display Barkin’s loose and energetic style were created using a big brush in the "alla prima" method.
