Quiet


"Quiet", 2009
Oil on linen on board, 14.6 x 14.6 cm (6 x 6 inches)
SOLD

Hello there, its been a long time between posting paintings...I've been quite unwell these past few months but thankfully, I seem to be finding my feet again. The urge to paint never leaves me, and now that I've finished this little work, I feel somehow complete again and able to get back into painting as before.

I remain interested in Film Noir and the genre's dramatic lighting that focuses on people together with an interaction with their surroundings. I have always enjoyed giving life to the inanimate object, in this case the corridors within a building via dramatic lighting.

I hope you enjoy my latest work and thank you for visiting my blog.

Welcome back, Diane! I'm glad to hear that you are better and are back painting again. What a wonderful, mysterious painting this is. Your use of values and shapes to create patterns is terrific. My eyes can't stop roaming all over it!

Best wishes for a complete recovery.
Judy

AR2P...you'd be right there, many many stories, hopefully there is a new one right behind that door too!

Hey Simon....thanks, trying my hardest to get back to my roughly once a week completed small painting again.

Thanks M. :)

Welcome back Dianne.
Love the feel of this one. There is something so amazing about monotone, specially black and white as with photos. I wonder that it is? Perhaps its because it leaves the imagination room to move.
cheers
Mike
