Quietude. A state of stillness and calm held within; a sense of freedom from storm or disturbance. The silhouette portrait of a young woman with an upward gaze merges with an image of a bird mid flight in a field.
This piece was shortlisted as a gallery finalist in the 2019 Lethbridge 20000 Small Scale Art Award.
This painting was built up layer by layer in oils, working from a monochromatic under-painting through to delicately applied layers of colour and fine detail. The canvas is framed in a raw oak float frame, it is equipped with a wire and ready to hang.
