A Quiet Depth in a Fading Light

21.5 x 20 – Oil Painting on Wood

A Quiet Depth In A Fading Light is a colorful portrait painted on wood panel. The painting consists of multiple layers of thinly applied glazes over more opaque applications of paint. This piece focuses on the lighting of the subject and the delicately rendered fingers surrounding the face. The hands draw the viewer into the middle of the piece and back out again. This suggestive and rhythmic movement is what I hoped to capture.

I am often painting on multiple projects at a time. This is my easel.
