January; A Light Study

A painting of a bare tree and a vintage streetlamp against a vivid, swirling sky with shades of red, purple, blue, and black. The tree’s branches are twisted and reach towards the streetlamp, which emits a gentle glow. This evocative scene offers an eerie yet beautiful light study reminiscent of January nights.
Okay, I’m leaving this one like it is and starting another. I like the forlorn nature of the #painting. A cold January evening, as the last rays of the light ephemerally touch the clouds, the tree embraces the cold brilliance of the street lamp in hopes of seeing the Sun again. I was going to #paint leaves reacting with the #light, but that’s for another time. It’s spray-paint and #acrylic on #canvas, 18 x 24 and part of a #series of light studies I’m doing.

My Latest Work

A friend wanted me to paint he and his girlfriend. Although I told him that my portraits never match the subject, case in point, when I tried to paint Mary Elizabeth Winstead, the final looked like Veronica from the Archie comics: But he was insistent, and so I attempted it and surprised myself. The painting … Read more
