Better Days Behind
Medium: Traditional Oil on Prepared Panel
This piece explores the atmospheric qualities of aging structures and evocative countryside character. Carl develops the painting in successive stages—beginning with a tonal wash to establish values, building up thick knife passages for weathered wood texture, and completing with delicate glazes for atmospheric depth.
