Medium: Oil
Dimensions: 24"h x 36"w
"HUNKERING DOWN" is a painting featuring a series of buildings on the right side, rendered in a style that abstracts their shapes and plays with light. These forms have warm, sunlit facades in tones of orange and peach, contrasting with the cool blue and navy of the night sky. There is a large round full moon in the upper right quadrant of the painting that casts a soft light on the structures and the landscape. The ground is depicted in hues that transition from the orange warmth of the illuminated area to the cool tones of the foreground. The brushwork is broad and expressive, contributing to the overall dreamlike atmosphere of the scene.
