Matt Talbert
"Holding on to a Dream", Oil Painting

2023

About the Item

"Holding on to a Dream" by Matt Talbert, dated 2023, is an oil painting on linen that captures a close-up of a woman in profile. The canvas dimensions are 30 x 40 inches, and with the frame, it measures 31.25 x 41.25 inches. The central focus of the composition is the woman's face and upper torso. Her face is painted in soft shades of pink, cream, and light blue, with particular attention given to her features. She has reddish-brown wavy hair that cascades around her face and shoulders. Her gaze is directed downwards, and her lips are painted in a subtle shade of red. A notable aspect of the painting is the depiction of her hands. They are intertwined and positioned close to her chest. The hands are painted with detail, showcasing the individual fingers, and are colored in similar hues as her face, with additional shades of brown and light blue. The background is more abstract, with a blend of soft blue and white brush strokes, creating a contrast with the detailed rendering of the woman. Matt Talbert's painting technique here showcases a mix of smooth brushwork on the woman's face and more textured strokes on her hands and the background. The painting is framed and ready-to-hang.
