This oil painting was created in my Painting I course and captures an interior view framed by a window, inviting the viewer to look beyond the immediate space. I focused on using light and color to create a sense of depth and atmosphere, balancing the warmth of the interior with the cooler tones of the exterior. The composition explores perspective and spatial relationships, while the brushwork adds texture and energy to the scene. This piece reflects my growing understanding of oil painting techniques and my interest in how everyday environments can evoke mood and narrative.
