Sketch Painting by Brian Sindler: Maple Frame

A lit road runs between two walls of dark trees, and someone is coming down it.

Number 39 is a sketch painting by Brian Sindler, acrylic on board in a maple frame, from 2020 to 2024. Night roads are a classic nocturne subject, where a few points of light stand in for whole journeys. A navy sky sits above a thick mass of near black trees at left, with a smaller clump at right. A pale road widens toward the bottom of the panel, and two tiny white lights glow at its far end. One more small light shows among the trunks at left. The framed panel is 7 by 7 inches, with a 6 by 6 inch image.

Dark enough to be interesting, lit enough to be hopeful.
