This 6 × 6 oil painting on cradled wood panel from the Tiny Temptations series presents a restrained moment of indulgence—amber liquid resting in glass, a cigar hovering above, suspended in stillness and low light. The composition is spare and deliberate, allowing atmosphere, texture, and tone to carry the weight of the image.
The Tiny Temptations series explores the subtle pull of familiar rituals and personal comforts. These are not grand scenes, but intimate pauses—moments of reflection, habit, and quiet reward. In this work, the subject suggests contemplation and solitude, where indulgence becomes less about excess and more about presence.
Painted with layered, expressive brushwork, the surface glows softly against a dark ground. Warm highlights contrast with deep shadows, inviting the viewer into a slow, contemplative experience. The small scale encourages close viewing, reinforcing the personal nature of the moment depicted.
This painting stands alone as a meditative still life while also contributing to an evolving body of work centered on longing, nostalgia, and the quiet beauty found in life’s smallest rituals.
