House Light #3: the second she looks away

House Light #3

I paint the half-second people don't pose for. This one is the look that leaves the room: she's still sitting with you, but she's already somewhere else, and the half-smile hasn't caught up yet. Most portraits wait for you to come back. This one doesn't.

House Light is a series. Same window, same warm room, one face at a time, from imagination, until one of them is someone you know.

If someone you know belongs in this light, that's the work I do. The how lives on my profile. And if I look at your face and can't find them in it, I say so before you pay.
