This 6 × 6 oil painting on cradled wood panel from the Tiny Temptations series presents a humble, familiar object—a worn matchbox, partially opened, its contents revealed in soft light against a dark, atmospheric ground. The composition is spare and contemplative, allowing texture, age, and subtle detail to carry emotional weight.
The Tiny Temptations series explores small, everyday objects that hold quiet power. Matches suggest ritual, pause, and potential—the moment just before action, warmth, or transformation. In their simplicity, these objects become stand-ins for memory, habit, and the human tendency toward small indulgences and repeated gestures.
Painted with expressive brushwork and restrained color, this piece balances realism with mood. The intimate scale invites close viewing, encouraging reflection on the overlooked beauty found in ordinary things.
This work stands alone while also contributing to an evolving body of paintings centered on longing, ritual, and the quiet significance of life’s smallest moments.
