Painting on Board by Brian Sindler: Twilight, Ephraim, Framed

A rose-tinted dusk and a lone two-masted boat at anchor

This painting on board is by Brian Sindler, and is dated 2014. It is oil on board. His landscapes are edited as much by omission as inclusion, built from simplified shapes such as trees, water, sky and clouds, and aim to convey mood rather than document a scene. A painting of a calm lavender-pink sky over smooth gray-violet water, with a distant headland on the left. A small boat with two thin masts sits low at the right. The frame is broad and nearly black. It is 20 inches wide and 17 high.

A boat so small it hardly counts as company.
