Home Scene

Medium - Charcoal, Size -18X24 inches, Date -3-15-23 In this charcoal sketch, the viewer is placed in a corner of our family’s living room, rich with cultural and personal elements. A textured carpet spreads warmth across the floor. To the left, a padded shoe holder shows functionality, comfort, and the custom of not wearing outside shoes indoors. Above it, an artist-proof painting of Madonna and Child by Brenda Joysmith echoes our family's warmth. Nearby, a framed Nigerian beaded wooden sculpture leans against the wall, casting a shadow and adding depth. On the right, a plush couch invites relaxation beside an elegant vase. The viewer is drawn down a hallway to a white closet door, another wall hanging, and hints of other rooms. The scene is unified by charcoal’s soft tones, capturing both physical elements and the living space’s warmth.
