Presence
Original Painting
Acrylic on canvas, finished in oils | 20 × 20 inches
 
Presence is a one-of-a-kind original painting. No prints will be made.
 
Presence captures a moment of stillness and focus - a pause charged with energy and awareness. Painted intuitively, the piece balances expressive mark-making with areas of softness and restraint, allowing the subject to emerge through layers of colour and texture rather than precise detail.
 
The kingfisher is rendered with sensitivity rather than literal realism, inviting the viewer to slow down and notice mood, movement and atmosphere. Subtle shifts in colour and tone create depth, while visible brushstrokes give the painting a sense of immediacy and presence.
 
Created using acrylic and finished in oils, the surface has richness and variation, rewarding close looking. This work stands as a strong, self-contained piece within the artist’s wider body of narrative and nature-inspired paintings.
