Sketch Painting by Brian Sindler: Maple Frame

A stone arch frames a river and a few distant lights, and the dusk waits behind it.

Sketch Painting; Maple Frame, Number 5, 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. A dark arch fills the left of the scene, its shadow side nearly black, while pale blue water and sky show through the opening. A few specks of light sit on the far bank, with soft reflections below. The strokes are broad and thick. It is framed in maple, 7 inches wide and 7 high, with an image of 6 by 6.
