Sketch Painting by Brian Sindler: Maple Frame

A great dark mass of foliage leans against a pink strip of horizon.

Sketch Painting; Maple Frame, Number 2, is an acrylic on board by Brian Sindler, made between 2020 – 2024 CE. Small sketches on board are generally made quickly to record a particular light or mood rather than a finished scene. The dark blue-gray tree is made of broad, flat patches, with a few chips of cream and tan showing through. Behind it the sky fades from lavender-gray to a rosy band at the horizon. A pale stretch of ground or water sits at the lower right. The brushwork is blocky and quick. It is framed in maple, 7 inches wide and 7 high, with an image of 6 by 6.

One tree, one evening, and some solid brushwork.
