Still Waters
About this artwork
A luminous view of a pond capturingthe gentle ripple of the water. Slender blades of grass emerge, casting reflections on the surface. When asked about his process, artist Benjamin Thomas explained the labor intensive work behind this image. The canvas has many layers of paint which I scrubbed off, painted over, sanded, glazed over and wiped to show the transparency of the water and what lays beneath.
