La Jeunesse by Rob Hefferan

Hefferan so brilliantly manages to capture the uniqueness of each of the characters he paints, allowing them to possess an element of warmth and realism which transcends to the viewer.

Look at how he paints the fabrics within the image with such conviction, almost making you want to reach out and touch the picture and feel the material!

This is where the artist has a brilliant understanding for painting textures so that they look real in every aspect of their form.

As you may have noticed, light plays a huge part within Hefferan's practice and this is what, in my opinion, allow his focal subjects to come to life!

This is a truly beautiful and elegant image and will make for a charming piece to add to your collection.

Notice how this particular image stands out in its style compared to the others in its series.

The way in which it has been painted is more expressive, allowing the background to become part of the colour which makes up the cloth draping round the woman.

The colour, texture, light and understanding for his subjects allow the painting skills to come to life and create a sense of familiarity within his characters.

The light and airiness created in this image makes for a perfect gift or purchase as it will compliment all coloured walls it will be placed on!
