Second Thought

FREE INSURED SHIPPING WITHIN THE U.S

Some of the best portraits catch someone when they think no one is looking.

A young woman turns her face away and down, one hand lifted to her mouth. Her auburn hair falls loose in dark red strokes, a few fine strands drawn across her cheek like pencil lines. The skin glows in warm coral and rose, with the soft shadow of liner at the eye and a muted red at the lips. The hand is deliberately blurred, as though caught mid-motion.

Around the face, the painting loosens into scrubbed umber and olive, with bare canvas at the sides and amber drips running down at the upper left. The face is carefully modeled, and the edges are left raw, keeping the mood honest and unguarded.

It’s a small, private moment, and a painting that rewards a longer look.
