The brushwork in this painting creates a radiance and intensity that encourages us to look closer. The brushstrokes are expressive and bold. The paint seems to be scribbled onto the canvas, painted on in large loops, and layered on repeatedly. This type of mark making invites us to think about the gestures behind the paint on the canvas. This painting is part of a larger series by Philip Maltman of the same title; other pieces with similar themes and motifs can be found in the series.
