Acrylic on Watercolor Paper
Page Size: 30 x 22 in.

This striking expressionist painting uses bold color and simplified forms to create a composition that is rich with emotion, soul and rhythmic. A black figure in a yellow dress and hat is captured in a graceful pose, her dark silhouette draws a bold contrast against a fiery background of orange, red, and purple brushstrokes that suggest a hot sunset or a brilliant field of light. In the foreground, white daisies bloom with thick, impasto texture against a dark green field of grass and stems. A large, pale sun radiates in the upper right, its heavy circular strokes adding a tactile focal point to the composition. Miles’s use of energetic, visible brushwork and a vivid palette transforms a simple pastoral moment into a powerful exploration of movement and light.
