Oil paint on linen, on wood

Cobalt Light is a small, minimal painting built around a slow transition of colour. In this work, Donald Schenkel allows pale blue tones to move gradually towards a soft, sandy base. The gradient is carefully constructed, with no abrupt shifts, giving the surface a calm, even presence.

The painting responds subtly to natural light. Depending on the moment of the day, the colours appear slightly cooler or warmer, making the work quietly dynamic without becoming dominant. Its restrained palette and clean composition make it easy to live with, while still offering depth on closer inspection.

With its modest scale, Cobalt Light is an accessible entry point into Schenkel’s practice. It works well on its own, but can also be combined with other small works as part of a refined, minimal arrangement. The painting comes ready to place on the wall; framing options are available upon request.
