Metamorphosis

Metamorphosis

26 Inch Diam – Oil Painting on Aluminum

This realistic and surreal figure painting is on aluminum (Dibond). The translucent figures appear quiet and contemplative. Almost lost in thought or bound by the outer edge of the circle. However, the hands reaching toward the light appear to have a life of their own. I like to think that she we are seeing the first moments of her “Metamorphosis”, her freedom. Swipe through the images to see my painting process. I often begin with a graphite drawing, then apply an initial underpainting layer. This is thinned with Liquin and applied as one monotone color, or multiple colors that directly relate to the final piece.
