About the Item

Artist Comments
Artist Gary Leonard presents a portrait of a woman that celebrates existence. "The painting crosses and extends the boundaries of life into an emotionally exciting, feel-good sense of being," says Gary. The bold brushwork and bright hues highlight her ethereal demeanor, creating a captivating visual experience.


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.
