This painting is a diptych; two square canvases, side by side, two similar landscapes in very simple shapes of slightly blurred colors. The left canvas is in an amber/sepia palette; the view looking across a pale foreground that could be the side of a road to a horizontal bar of orange- and sienna-green hedges/trees/shrubs with one dome of a tree standing taller next to a flag pole or similar mark, against a sky in whites and grays on a bright day with puffy clouds. The right canvas is in fuller colors, the view down a grey country road curving right, passing a middle ground of grass on the left in yellow- and orange-greens against a background horizontal bar of trees/shrubs dominated by towering domes of trees to the left and right, with the shadow of a foreground tree crossing the road in the middle distance. The painting is rendered in sgraffito marks of a fully-loaded palette knife.

United States
Carpenter was born in 1953 in Greenville, Delaware, U.S.A. He studied with the painter Tom Bostelle near home and then went to the Rhode Island School of Design, where he earned a BFA in Film, in 1976. His work has been shown at the Museum of Contemporary Art, Denver, P.S.1, New York, and the Centre Pompidou, Paris. Carpenter's painting style is a cross between old master techniques and expressionism. He makes marks with flicks of a fully-loaded palette knife, but to a precise rendering of hue and tone in a representational image. The image is built up in countless layers of oil glazes, much as Vermeer worked, only in thick impasto. Peeking through the layers are often the transparent traces of a map or poetry. This idea is borrowed from pentimento, the inherent feature of oil paint that, as it dries, it becomes more transparent, revealing what's underneath.
