Sketch Painting by Brian Sindler: Maple Frame

A fire, or a window, or a sunset, glowing orange between dark trees.

Number 14 is a sketch painting by Brian Sindler, acrylic on board in a maple frame, made between 2020 and 2024. Small night studies often hinge on one hot patch of color against a field of dark, and the eye goes straight to it. A brown sky sits above heavy masses of near black trees on either side. Between them, a bright orange glow burns near the base. Dark green ground runs along the bottom. It is 7 inches wide and 7 high, with a 6 inch square image.

Warm company, in a very dark neighborhood.
