Restful Dreaming, Oil Painting

2018

Artist Comments
"This peaceful composition was inspired by the lush green colors of a summer day in the forest, with the softening effect of light rain and the sun finding its way throughout," explains artist Gary Leonard. "I wanted to create a piece with an organic, soft warm green palette. The model with her relaxed pose and loose clothing contribute to the overall feeling."

About the Artist
Through composition, color, texture and more, Gary Leonard celebrates beauty. His works start with the subject, but then he lets the work evolve into a more complex composition. Oftentimes, he enjoys merging figures with abstract images and varying textures. He hopes that his works will leave the viewer with a sense of warmth and peace. When he's not making art, he enjoys listening to music and learning how to play the piano.
