About this work

This is a close-up portrait of a person with light skin and light hair. The face is painted in soft, pale colors—mostly yellows, whites, and faint blues—with a gentle, almost blurred look. The background is a pale greenish-gray, barely there, so the face stands out. The brushstrokes are loose and quick, like the artist didn’t want to get too precise. The eyes are half-lidded, giving a quiet, relaxed feel. It’s not a polished look—more like a sketchy, honest snapshot. Try looking up Greg Goldberg next to see more of his work.
