Breath of Embers

Breath of Embers by Shavana Smiley 2023

Oil on Canvas 61 x 50.8 x 3.8 cm

Breath of Embers is a painting made with desert rain. Using the sky and oil paint to create a visual mediation on the cosmos and our life within its great vastness. Beginning this creation on a horizontal plane working with nature to create the initial layer. I then bring it to the vertical plane to refine the abstraction with a brush until completion.
