Momentary is 36” x 36” x1.5” acrylic painting on wood. I used watered down paint to stain the background. Then I used the grid method to get the accuracy of my image. I then painted darkest values first, then layered lighter values on top.
Momentary is a painting about the reflection of the short and fleeting span of our lives in light of the vastness of the universe. Our desire to experience life, beauty, and love is an amazing gift. This painting seeks to create pause in our busy lives. We need moments to contemplate the brevity, and to ultimately make changes to live life with the end in mind.
