Face to Face (2023) Traditional and the echo of guitars

and the echo of guitars

while sharp strokes of driftwood and willow branches anchor the scene in the Yukon floodplain

and the first true greens return to the Yukon

where early spring light hits the water and color begins to stir in the landscape

The painting evokes the quiet reverence of a cathedral—only here

Face to Face (2023) Traditional and the echo of guitarsOil on canvas60 x 40 in Dozens of faces collide, overlap, and press toward the surface, each captured mid expression joy, rage, mockery, awe, boredom, disbelief. No single voice dominates; instead, the crowd becomes a single living organism made of conflicting emotions. The painting holds the overwhelming experience of being surrounded, seen, and scrutinized all at once. ProvenanceArtists Studio
