Cherry Smoke

FREE INSURED SHIPPING WITHIN THE U.S

Put on the right pair of glasses, and the whole world turns the color of a good mood.

A figure faces the viewer head-on, eyes closed behind round, cherry-red lenses, a cigarette dangling from soft lips. Those lenses are the painting’s showpiece: deep crimson glazes, glossy highlights, and the faint shadow of lashes visible through the glass. Around them, the face is modeled in warm cream and peach, framed by tousled sandy hair and a cool wash of teal that pushes the reds even brighter.

At the bottom, the painting lets go. A band of hot pink and crimson spills across the canvas in loose strokes and long vertical drips, leaving the weave and the process on full display. It’s a small painting with loud color and a quiet, unbothered attitude.
