Nia McKeown – Pterodactyl Shadow

Oil on Board          2023

Painted in two sessions, my blue dining room chair stands out against the vibrant oak floor. Additionally, I observed an intriguing shadow cast by my son’s toy dinosaur, which I incorporated into the composition.

I explore a wide range of subjects, including landscapes and interiors, with a constant focus on the interplay between light and colour. Painting ‘en plein air’ adds a dynamic quality, letting me depict scenes in their natural state. I draw inspiration from everyday life, aiming to capture its essence in my work.
