Fox & Lilies 48 x 48
Fox & Lilies is one of my favorite pieces from this year.
She's a continuation of some themes around lilies I've been working on — I'm not done with them yet.
One of my favorite things as a painter is when I've been working on a piece for months and I can't seem to make it work, and then in about a 45-minute window I finish something that's taken months to resolve. This piece was just that.
She's full of hope here. And resilient.
About the piece
48 x 48, oil on wood panel with a 2.25-inch gold-leafed edge. Built up in about 30 layers — graphite drawing on the wood first, then oil paint, washes, glazes, and metal-leaf. The processes here take weeks. The gold-leafed edge means she's ready to hang as is, no framing needed.
Original, one of a kind.

Why I make Art
"I believe that Art Makes Life Better. I grew up in rural South Carolina in a ramshackle farmhouse and I learned at an early age how fulfilling making artwork with own hands could be. All of my work is really a celebration of that - of noticing - taking in - and being surrounded by nature." - Joseph
