Beacon

(An example of how Beacon might look framed. This painting is being offered for sale unframed.)

This sweet, quiet painting feels like the respite I am seeking every Holiday season when things get crazy. There is something hushed and reverent here. Something soothing. There are soft layers of color, a simple well-balanced composition and a peaceful inspired glow. Beacon is a small reminder to seek out the unspoiled places in life.

This painting is a case of matching just the right materials with the right dream/vision. Gouache is exactly right here. It would not have been nearly so magical had I created it in acrylic or oil pastel. This media is particularly delicate and dreamlike. Gouache is an opaque form of watercolor and I build my gouache paintings up with many light washes before completing them with key details created with tiny detail brushes.
