oil on canvas, 16"x12"
This painting is part of a series that began in the summer of 2019 when I met a handsome art lover who immediately offered to model for me. It was a joy to closely observe this wonderfully expressive subject by the large north facing windows of my studio. Little did I imagine just how much this spontaneous collaboration would come to mean to me only a short time later.
I am happy with the luminous, painterly quality achieved in this painting. I also love the peaceful, relaxed mood. One of the things I cherish about painting is how it helps me meditate on a beautiful moment, to expand and preserve it, perhaps even beyond this fleeting life.
