This is the second painting using the puffer jacket motif. It was fun to use open brushstrokes to paint the bulbous shapes of the jacket, and to contrast that against a flat background. All the painterly principles of classical drapery apply here, even though the jacket itself is 100 percent contemporary. That’s one of the thrills of this subject. “From Across the Room”, 2026, 48” x 42”, oil on canvas.
