Portrait of Advancing Years  2015, oil, aluminum powder, and marble dust on Arches, 12 in. X 4 in.  Frames have been a recurring theme on my easel. I was particularly interested in how the silver paint reacted to the light, allowing the real world to alter the appearance of the miniature portrait at its center. This painting embodies exclusion and hyper-focus, encircled by a thick metallic plane.
