Maya Print

This portrait is of beautiful little Maya, my friend's younger sister, as she was playing a few songs for us on the piano. In a dimly lit room we all sat and listened to Maya play, while the light of dusk began to seep in, creating a dreamy ambience in the room. Her big sister, Paige, crept up behind her on the arm of the sofa, and took the shot as Maya glanced up mid song. This piece to me reflects a sense of innocence and joy, a sense of light amidst the darkness. The dreamy quality of the moment is reflected in the style of the painting, capturing young Maya with hope and wonderment in her eyes, which I think everyone could do with a little more of in life. I chose to paint this piece in oils to capture the rich intensity of the colours and exposure of the image. The style is realistic, while adding a slight 'smudged', grainy effect to reflect the nature of the film camera it was initially captured on. Painted with finest quality oil paints (Winsor and Newton) on extra fine cotton DaVinci canvas for a smooth texture. This artwork is currently unvarnished but can be varnished if preferred by the buyer. Hardware hanging is not included.
