Glowing

"Glowing" is a radiant and joyful original painting by Tara Verkuil that celebrates the vibrant energy of color and mark-making. This 60" W x 48" H piece is a visual love letter to the super power of pink, capturing its softness, boldness, and transformative spirit through layers of color and texture.

The painting features a harmonious blend of pinks and oranges, with shades ranging from soft blush to bold fuchsia. The expressive marks in pink and orange add movement and spontaneity, creating a dynamic composition that feels alive and ever-changing.

Crafted with a rich mix of materials—acrylic, graphite, crayons, colored pencil, pastels, and oil sticks—"Glowing" offers layers of depth and intrigue. The loose brushstrokes and intuitive mark-making create a tactile experience, allowing the viewer to immerse themselves in the shifting hues and organic forms.

Tara approaches this piece with her signature abstract expressionistic style, beginning with abstract mark making and building up layers of partially transparent paint. Her bold and opaque brushstrokes add a sense of light and shadow, creating a captivating depth that beckons the viewer to wander through the canvas.
