Susan's #001

Sale price$3,500.00


"Susan’s #001" is a very special piece I created as a custom artwork for my wife. When we remodeled our home, the new color palette didn’t quite match my usual work, so I set out to create something unique for our space. This piece marks a departure from my typical style, embracing a more muted pastel look - something I didn’t initially envision for myself. Painted entirely with a palette knife, it has a thick, textured quality that brings it to life. While this is currently a one-off, I truly enjoyed the creative process and the challenge of stepping outside my comfort zone.
