Leiden – 2016-12-27 (Sold)

Glass Vase – 2016

Realistic vase oil painting

A quick painting I made the morning before afternoon’s workshop ‘painting glass’.

Roundism – 2016-07-06

Framed pointillist oil painting of a stylized nude figure in a curled, introspective pose, composed of vibrant mosaic-like brushstrokes in warm reds, oranges, and pinks. The background features cooler tones of blue, teal, and purple, creating emotional contrast and visual depth.

This oil painting ‘Roundism – 06-07-16’ is a the second one in the same series under the same name. Cubism meeting pointillism!
