red hands 4-23-25 (2025)Oil painting
by Thomas Donaldson

Red Hands 4-23-25 is a medium-scale male portrait study on canvas in oils using a muted palette contrasting with areas of vibrant color. The work is painted with a fluid application of paint, staining, and stripping back allowing earlier paint layers to be visible.
Utilizing bold, expressive brushstrokes, the artist builds layers of texture and emotion, conveying the beauty of the human form. The muted palette gives way to bursts of vibrant colors. Each brushstroke is purposeful, contributing to the overall sense of movement and influenced by post-impressionist painters.
