Triplets in White
Third painting in my Triplets Series.
ORIGINAL available. Please contact me for purchase.
PRINTS also available below.
"Triplets in White" is the third painting in my Triplets Series. The three sisters, who are genetically identical, are each beautifully independent. They stand before a dark, ancient outcropping of rocks that resemble a theater, or maybe an alter or a cathedral. It is a secret place where they each find "that feeling", one that can only be experienced in such a place. The musty but sweet smell of wet leaves and lichen on the damp rocks fills the air. When I scouted the location for this painting's photoshoot, I was looking for such a place. I found it just down the road from my farm on a neighbor's property. After getting permission from the owner, I borrowed a good friend's wedding dress and the model, who I repeat in the composition to portray triplets, wore this as well as a white cape I had gotten to complete the ensemble.
As with the other paintings in the series, the environment is given the same consideration to detail as the figures. I pay careful attention to soft versus hard edges, warm and cool light, and depth of field. The figures and their environment are physically, emotionally and visually intertwined. My âTripletsâ series is about the natural worldâs power to help us each find âthat feeling.â
