Oil on Canvas 48 in. x 18 in. x 1.5 in. Over three months, this work took shape in small, deliberate sessions—an hour here, two hours there. Painted at varying times of day, its colors and values were adjusted in response to shifting light, ensuring it would hold its presence from morning into evening.
Suspended plays on the phrase Light Sleeper. A figure embraces a luminous yellow balloon, his feet hovering just above the ground, poised at the threshold between rest and ascent. For me, the process was as much about patience and observation as it was about image-making—a lesson in slowing down, refining perception, and allowing a painting to unfold in its own time.
