30 × 21 cm, 2025
Oil paint on linen, on wood
Orange Dusk moves from a grounded terracotta tone into a soft, muted mauve, creating a gentle shift that feels warm and steady. Donald Schenkel works in thin, patient layers, allowing the gradient to settle without any hard edges. The result is a quiet, atmospheric piece that changes subtly with the light.
This smaller format makes it easy to place - on a shelf, in a hallway, next to a desk - anywhere a touch of colour can bring calm and warmth. As an accessible entry point into Schenkel’s practice, it’s well suited for a first artwork or a thoughtful gift: minimal, carefully made and meant to stay with you for years.
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.
