Acrylic on canvas
48” x 36”

Brian’s first painting. Once an abandoned canvas, this hidden treasure unwittingly led Brian to discover his true connection with painting. Its scrappy turquoise gradient was gessoed over with the only white paint on hand, “Sherwin Williams Flat White”. Serenity challenges the convention of spatial hierarchy within a composition. The up-ward looking woman is overshadowed by her own hair.. Energetic and Dynamic, the hair itself seems to be searching, moving and dominating the space while the woman is enslaved by it.
