About this artwork
Quiet Interval 2
A snow-laden branch rests over a frozen pond consumed by darkness. Indigo and black hold the water in deep, still silence — no warmth, no colour, only the absolute contrast of white snow against night-dark water.
And then, almost hidden where the branch meets the ice, a single green leaf. Alive. Insistent. A whisper of persistence in a world given over to winter.
This is a painting about stillness and its opposite — the quiet interval… between surrender and return. At that moment, time holds its breath. Painted in the philosophy of Ipseity, it asks nothing of the viewer except to stop, to look, and to find themselves somewhere in that space between the dark and the light.
Quiet Interval (2) is part of About Time, my solo exhibition (July 2026) that questions how we inhabit moments — and what remains when we finally do.

Within and Without
My art has been described as moody but calm. Since my first collection, I See Through the Seasons (2016), I have given our forests human characteristics. I moved through winter and Arctic scenes, but the forests have stayed with me.
Then came the islands. Endogenous/Exogenous (2022) set me thinking about what forms us from within and what shapes us from without, and that led to Island Just for You. The sea has worn at an island’s shore for thousands of years, and the island has yet to take much notice.
A person is much the same. However close we are to others, each of us lives in a solitude no one else can fully enter, yet stays grounded in the same earth as everyone else. Our values change as we age, but the self endures. Past seventy, the question is less what I want and more what I leave behind.
Calm comes from accepting that solitude. I have spent years learning to be alone with myself, and I am still getting used to the company. venafrobob.com
