Oil paint on linen, on wood
Light Ochre is a warm, quiet gradient that moves from a soft golden tone into a deeper, earthy shade. Donald Schenkel applies his layers with patience, allowing the colours to settle into a smooth transition that feels both steady and calm. It’s a small work, easy to place, yet it brings a subtle sense of warmth to any corner of a room.
Because it responds gently to natural light, the painting shifts slightly throughout the day, sometimes brighter, sometimes deeper in tone. It’s an inviting entry point into Schenkel’s practice and a thoughtful choice for anyone looking for an original artwork that feels personal, minimal, and accessible.
This work will be shipped within the Netherlands and Belgium at no additional cost, securely and with tracking.

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.
Delivery within the Netherlands and Belgium is arranged in consultation, either in person or securely shipped.
