Gary Leonard
Woman with Red Hair, Oil Painting

2021

About the Item

Artist Comments
Artist Gary Leonard portrays a compelling figure of a woman with alluring red hair and a striking side profile. With her hands on her waist, she tilts her chin up in poised confidence. Gary captures her emotion with combined styles of realism and expressionism. The dark background creates a dramatic contrast and emphasizes the tonal palette making it appear to be three-dimensional. Pops of vibrant colors in teal, red, yellow, purple, and blue add points of interest and a dash of whimsy.


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.
