"Tuscaloosa"
2024, Original Oil on Panel, 10x10 inches
"Tuscaloosa" is more than a painting; it’s a memory etched in oil. Inspired by my years in Alabama, this piece takes me back to crisp autumn nights in art school, where the low hum of cicadas and the soft “choo” of a distant train filled the air. Standing near the railroad tracks, a serene figure embodies that sense of quiet solitude I felt back then—a time when life felt expansive and the world was undiscovered. The rich colors and soft painterly techniques of this piece are certain to draw the attention and spark conversation from anywhere in your home.
Framed in pine, "Tuscaloosa" invites the viewer to step into this peaceful scene, and perhaps reconnect with a place or time that brings them nostalgia.
