This painting is part of an ongoing series in which I observe people from behind, not their faces, not their destinations, just the moment of departure.
Here, a woman on a scooter rides down a dirt road under a glaring blue sky. The long shadows and the utility poles trailing behind her suggest a late afternoon — a day dying, a journey beginning, or both. The visible brushwork and the road's dustiness are intentional. I want the texture to feel like memory.
