Painting on Canvas by Brian Sindler: Treeline, Sunset #2, Framed

A salmon strip of sky over a mottled thicket with two small red sparks

This painting on canvas is by Brian Sindler, and is contemporary. It is acrylic on canvas. His working method begins with sketching, sometimes as many as a hundred on a first visit outdoors, from which he picks only a handful to develop into finished paintings. A near-square painting with a narrow pink sky above a dense, textured mass of olive and brown foliage. Two tiny red accents glow low among the trunks. A muted mauve foreground sits inside a thin silver frame. It is 37.5 inches wide and 37.5 high.

The red flecks are the only ones brave enough to stand out.
