“Day Without Sun”
Working in the operating room entails long hours, and sometimes under great duress. In painting this view from the other side of the sterile drape, I tried to impart the fervent engagement of the surgeon. The bright lights, while yielding little to no shadow, bring clarity to the working field. The blue and green shades in the operating room environment played in perfect complement to the skin tones as I painted, and so the story unfolded.

It’s a master, Terry! Prob my Favorite of all your paintings to date. Like your crop choice. Will hospital buy it & hang it on their walls? Another great job š

Thanks, Connie, so much. I haven’t really shown it anywhere … yet. That would be cool if the hospital wanted it, huh!
I love the colors on this Terry and glad you didn’t crop much. Very dramatic piece, and personal!
Thank you, Sherry. I’ve wanted to paint some work-related pieces for a while, and glad I tried this. Hopefully more to come.
