Nana

2020

Nana at the end of a century of weather, white hair lit like a cloud, one hand drawn up to her shoulder. The face is a map and I painted every road. Portraits of the very old are the closest my work comes to geology — time laid down in visible strata, and still moving.

Oil on linen, 14x36 inches. Private collection.

Oil on linen portrait of an elderly woman with white hair and deeply lined face, wearing a black top, one hand raised near her chest, against a warm muted brown background.
