Empty Frame with Reflections, 2022, oil on canvas, 40.4 x 30.5 cm.
This is a paintings I did while I was the artist-in-residence at Geelong Grammar School recently. The tricky part was to convey the feeling that you are looking at an empty frame with glass in it
reflecting an image but not enough to look like a frame with a picture in it.
The reflection is a suggestion of my face but I needed to adjust the tones to make it seem like there is someone there. Whether I succeeded or not is up to the viewer.
