Wet Oil Swirl on Palette Knife in Erdenet Arcade

by Laurie Solis

Stark fluorescent tubes overhead cast a flat, clinical glow across a metal palette knife holding a thick, viscous swirl of wet oil paint. The paint, a deep indigo fading into teal, rests on the curved blade with a glossy, liquid surface. Behind the knife, the glass roof of the indoor arcade reveals a pre-dawn sky, a pale, uniform gray that contrasts with the artificial light. The surrounding surfaces are clean and uncluttered, showing only the smooth texture of the metal tool and the slight ridges left by the paint application. Late spring light filters weakly through the glass, but the scene remains dominated by the harsh, even illumination of the overhead fixtures. One droplet of paint rests near the tip of the blade, suspended in the still air.
