harbor sanctuary © 2020 Media: oil on board 9 x 24 inches (23 x 61cm) This painting depicts the view from under the canopy of a broad white porch out to the bright green of a yard and the blues of a harbor under a varied-blue sky with sunlight dancing in the green leaves of a huge tree overhanging to the right side. In the yard is a bright green hedge that wraps around the porch and a two-track sandy driveway that cuts through it to a distant small white boat upside down by the water's edge. The porch has wicker chairs, sofa, and table with a round glass top that reflects the colors of the white vase and medium-dark wooden bowl sitting on it, with some of its wicker base visible through the reflections in the green tones, circled by the sharp deep green edge of plate glass.

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.
