30 x 36 inches. Oil on canvas. Actress in a wide brimmed hat with yellow ribbon. Tina Clare (Christina Clare, C.j. Clare Artworks) paints portraits and figurative works that capture the raw intensity of human emotion. Working primarily in oil, acrylic, and pastel, she combines a realistic style with heightened, vibrant colours to amplify the feeling behind each face. Her work bridges historical influences, blending the dramatic lighting of the Renaissance with the vivid, broken colour of the Impressionists. Whether portraying a loud yell, a soaring song, or a moment of quiet thoughtfulness, her goal is to freeze a fleeting psychological state and force the viewer to look closer at what lies beneath the surface.
