31" X 25" Oil

The artist describes this piece as "a figure-based oil painting, meant to speak to the emotive qualities of freedom, contentment and peace." Indeed, the artist paints with a masterful, flowing brushstroke, simulating a sort of effortlessness which ties into its subject matter. Along with a vibrant use of color and strong grasp of the figure, this is a bold, lively piece that certainly expresses bold freedom and inner peace.
