"Borrowed Light" is an original oil painting, measuring 10 in by 14in, with a beautiful, atmospheric quality, balancing heavy texture with a very delicate, ethereal light. The horizontal impasto line hints at a horizon, while the hazy purples and grays evoke a memory or a specific time of day.

The surface is built through a repetitive cycle of application and erosion. The textured surface catches the light, adding depth and dimension to this semi-abstract landscape scene. Muted violets blend seamlessly, creating a serene and calming effect reminiscent of a misty sunrise.

This captivating, small artwork would be a wonderful addition to any room, bringing a touch of tranquility to your space. Its abstract impressionism style makes it a versatile piece that complements various decor styles.

Bring the beauty of "Borrowed Light" into your home and let its serene ambiance transform your surroundings.

Materials used:

Old Holland and Winsor and Newton Artists' series oil paints and mediums with the highest ratings of permanence and light-fastness.
