FREE SHIPPING, RETURNS & INSURANCE

I started this painting by watering down acrylic paint to the point where it tends to blend like watercolors. Although I guide the paint, I also let the colors and shapes develop naturally.

Then I paint over that with oils, making sure to let much of the underpainting show through. The interplay of colors creates a sense of movement and immediacy that keeps the painting fresh. You can see that particularly in the red area of this painting, where the original color shines through.

Artwork Description

Oil on canvas, stretched and ready to hang.

Signed on the back.

The Brightest Hour started with the hope of always improving, and always growing brighter, like the beauty of a luminous sunrise. It was inspired by the first rays of sunlight breaking through gray clouds, glowing with white light, and releasing a breathtaking blue sky, promising a shining new day.

The painting process I used lends itself to creating organic forms, which I then tighten up with structural lines. This technique mirrors the larger theme of my work: the hard edges of our structured world contrasted against the organic forms of the natural world.
