Late Nights is a representation of a something that might be found on the walls from an ancient cave that exemplifies and glorifies the most worthy of convictions, the satisfaction that comes in doing a day's work that will benefit your family and community. This painting depicts three human figures as they stand against a textured background that resembles an eye or a red moon. These figures are stripped down to their simple and minimal lines and shapes that add to the modern flair of this otherwise very traditional portrait. Their gestures and the graceful lines of their bodies become the main subject of the photo and these elements are executed with precision and elegance. The brush strokes are very defined and well articulated in every section of the piece, from the background to the foreground. The bold brush strokes serve to emphasize the shapes that are so integral to the style of this piece. The shapes themselves create the engaging lines of the horizon and the bold background of white highlights. Different colors and shadows are incorporated very successfully into the piece giving the scene an authentic and sophisticated air.
This original canvas painting comes on three canvases that would make an absolutely stunning centerpiece for any room. The scale of the piece is not overwhelming, but it is certainly eye catching, and the work itself will further engage any one drawn to the painting's pleasing size and shape. This canvas displays a number of very pleasing shapes and the lines and colors of the background intensify the impact and drama of the central figures, making them stand out more against the attractive landscape. The modern flair of this piece will update any living space that it is incorporated into and the painting's understated but varied tones will add a subtle elegance to a space. If you enjoy the warm, earthy tones of this piece you may want to spend some time perusing our Landscape Canvas gallery for other paintings that suit your tastes. In addition, if you are attracted to the details and nuances of this piece you will find much to like in African Bluffs, that focuses on many of the same points that Late Nights so successfully puts on canvas.
