Here are some paintings I really like by Amy Bennett. She uses models to inspire her paintings. As she says,

‘The act of building models plays a critical role in triggering my imagination to develop images. The model becomes a stage on which to develop the psychological implications of belonging to a particular family, with all of its dramas, struggles and familiar routines. I think: this tree will be taken down after an old man crashes into it; a father will transform this lawn into an ice skating rink; this house will be abandoned after its residents are scandalized on the evening news.’

Even when she paints more traditional interiors, she imbues them with psychological drama, like in this painting. Some of her work reminds me of Edward Hopper.
