Oil on Canvas
30" x 24"
After the small pencil sketches and study I worked on in preparation for this piece, it was fun to finally work big. This is almost a life-sized figure. The challenge was to keep it loose and put in only the necessary detail for what I wanted this piece to say. The reference photos were taken by my daughter in a corner of my room where the light was perfect for my mood all last week - mostly thoughtful and sometimes sad. I can almost sense the melancholy of the moment in this painting. There is a beauty in quiet reflection.
