oil on cold press illustration board.
15 × 20 inches. painted in 2013.
ready to frame.
one color, asked to do everything. cobalt thinned all the way down — near-black in the overturned bowl, a pale wash across the folds, and the bare cream of the board left to carry the light where white paint usually would.
the strokes stay strokes here. nothing is blended into softness. the linen reads as cloth and as gesture at once — folded, unmade, still holding the shape of whatever was set down on it and taken away.
a still life is a quiet kind of portrait. a bowl turned over, a glass half-lit, a run of dots along the hem. ordinary things, given the attention usually saved for a face.
i hope it feels like a room you have already been standing in a while — light coming in sideways, nobody hurrying.
signed lower right. unframed, rigid board, ships flat.
