Sketch Painting by Brian Sindler: Maple Frame

Lights float on a gray green sea, and one of them has a reflection.

Number 21 is a sketch painting by Brian Sindler, acrylic on board in a maple frame, from 2020 to 2024. Aerial and shoreline views at night are generally reduced to a handful of lights and a field of one color. The whole panel is worked in muted gray green, with a pale band of sky along the top. Small white dots scatter across the middle, and a single yellow light drops a pale reflection toward a heart shaped pool of lighter paint below. A small dark block sits at the left edge. The frame is 7 by 7 inches, with a 6 by 6 inch image.

Quiet water, mostly keeping its own counsel.
