About Artwork

Evening Banter About Eternity is an oil pastel drawing on black paper. A tall, overflowing bouquet rises from a clear glass vase set on a tabletop. The flowers climb high enough to dominate the frame, splitting into two main color fields: deeper purples and whites on the left, and hot yellows, oranges, and reds on the right. The stems tangle and flare outward, with a few drooping leaves hanging low toward the table.

The vase sits near the bottom center, drawn with pale highlights and curved reflections that make the glass feel heavy and cold. The table angles diagonally across the foreground, catching a muted band of light that pulls the still life forward.

A dramatic bouquet study with split warm/cool color fields, atmospheric horizon, and layered pastel marks.

The glass vase is drawn with crisp highlights and soft transparency. It sits on a slanted tabletop that catches a thin seam of light—just enough to hold the still life in place. Everything else behind it slows down: dark hills, a mountain silhouette, and a dim sky. On the far left, a pale strip suggests water or mist near the horizon. That distance gives the bouquet something to argue with.

Behind the arrangement, a landscape opens into dark hills and a mountain form beneath a dim sky. A pale band at the far left reads as water or low mist, giving the scene depth and a quieter counterweight to the bouquet’s intensity.

The pastel surface is worked and layered. Petals are built from short, scratchy strokes that leave the black paper breathing between colors. The bouquet feels alive and cut at once—full of chatter in its color, already starting to sag under its own weight.
