The Reading Chair
11 x 14"  Oil on Canvas
sold

This painting is about many things: It is a study of warm and cool colors, a study of a study, a tribute (if you will) to these days of social isolation and sheltering in place. 

Artistically, I was interested in contrasting the cool light from a window on a snowy day as it met with the warm light in a cozy room.  It's also a study of an interior - a reading corner - and trying to make the ordinary seem special. And finally, it's a small tribute to our current times, where we are forced to remain isolated, often indoors, protecting ourselves from the coronavirus pandemic.

My thanks to the photographer who worked patiently with my ideas!

This piece is spoken for, but I enjoy painting illustrations, and would certainly consider painting a favorite interior as a commission.
