In Soft Green Twilight No. 2, Donald Schenkel works in a remarkably traditional way, layer by layer, with slow-drying oil paint that allows for subtle transitions and lasting depth. The surface may appear effortless, but it is the result of countless thin glazes and hours of drying time between each layer.

By working patiently and without digital tools, Schenkel continues a centuries-old painting tradition, using time itself as a material. The result is a sense of calm and precision that feels both timeless and contemporary.

Wandering Phantoms is part of Donald Schenkel's ongoing exploration of colour and atmosphere. Layers of soft violet, pink and warm yellow dissolve into one another, while subtle vertical forms emerge and disappear within the composition.

Rather than depicting a specific landscape or place, the painting balances between presence and absence. The image remains open, allowing associations with reflections, light or distant horizons without settling into a fixed interpretation.

Built up through numerous translucent layers of oil paint, the surface reveals different nuances throughout the day. The restrained palette and luminous centre give the work a calm yet radiant character.

Presented in a custom wooden frame, Wandering Phantoms brings together colour, light and subtle movement in a composition that rewards prolonged viewing.
