A digital response to The Listener and Quiet Face I.Preparing the live canvas. The still composition is ready.

Nocturne
in Blue

A curl holds the warmth.

Blue takes the room. Pink and gold keep their quiet distance. Open the curl, move the seed, and find a different balance.

The composition is still. Adjust a form to begin.

An experimental interpretation of Iana’s painted forms. This is a digital study, not an original artwork by the artist.

Before the blue
became night.

The Listener gives this study its generous inward curl. Quiet Face I lends the pink profile and the small weight of gold. Their colour relationships open into a new composition.
