This painting shows a porch in muted beigewoodwork looking out through railings and pilasters to the shingle roof with gables and the white clapboard facade that extends back to the left side of the painting, all tucked inder a striped dark green and white awning in a bravado montage of classic American club architecture that would make Vincent Scully croon. The ceiling of the porch is lit by strong amber light coming through the window on the right, which also shows, reflected in that window glass, the sunlit ocean out that room, of which we can only see a few amber-lit patterns in a play of rectangles. Patterns are the main motif of the painting; the lines of the railing's spindles against the lines of the clapboard, and spindles of a gable porch, and the lines of the shingle roof, the gables and shutters, counterpointed to the montage of rectangles on the right. Next to the window is a door partly open with a woman leaning back against it to push it open, with her face just visible to her cheeks and a whisper of an eye. She is in a dark green jersey, with straight brunette hair and pale skin.

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.
