Painting on Canvas by Brian Sindler: Treeline, Sunset #1, Framed

A huge black grove fills the canvas and the sky barely gets a word in

This painting on canvas is by Brian Sindler, and is contemporary. It is acrylic on canvas. 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 large painting of tall dark trees pressed into one almost black silhouette with a ragged top edge. A band of tan sky sits above, and a sliver of orange glows along the left. A dark meadow lies below. It is 37.5 inches wide and 37.5 high.

Darkness painted with enough care to deserve its own lamp.
