1987.01.1866Description
Oil on canvas portrait by Carolyn Gorton Fuller depicting Burt Garnett, founding president of the Key West Art & Historical Society. He has short white hair, wears glasses, and is smiling softly towards the viewer. The background is a blur of blues and beiges, suggesting an indistinct indoor setting, possibly an office, as hinted by the presence of shelves with books or files. The brushwork is expressive, with visible strokes and a rich impasto, enhancing the texture and depth of the painting. The color palette is predominantly cool, imbued with touches of warmth radiating from his face and hands, giving a sense of vitality to his persona.Type of Painting
