Gentle Spirit by Lee Bogle ~ Collectors know Lee Bogle for his images of solitary women whose beauty far surpasses the superficial. His technical skills as a draftsman are especially evident in his renderings of the human figure. He combines vivid, realistic detail with the expressive qualities of abstraction in the Oriental tradition. One of Bogle's hallmarks is the intricacies he manages within his medium. "There is a spirituality in my art that the viewer must interpret for himself. Frequently, I paint women whose faces are turned upwards, toward the sky. Many times their eyes are closed, as if in peaceful contemplation. I want my paintings to express a depth of serenity that comes only with inner peace."
