Nocturne (2026) Original Mixed-media Painting by Charles BEALL

A study in navy and deep green. Two upright slats rise side by side through the composition, one a step ahead of the other, while a disc of navy and green glows behind them like a moon. A dark square passes in front of the circle, and a pair of short green bars and a broad green panel lead the eye out to the right.

In music, a nocturne is a short, quiet piece for the night. Here the palette is held to two dark, closely related colours, so the work depends on shape, depth and shadow rather than contrast: each layer stands slightly forward of the last, and the light falling across their edges does the rest.
