Scott Torkelson Original Oil on Canvas Moths to flame, bugs, light bulb, Untitled.

This is one of my personal favorites of my paintings. Simple, the colors are subtle and texture is used more sparingly than in most of my work. The subject matter is moths/bugs attracted to a light. Philip Guston was a large influence on my painting style for a while and it can be seen in this painting.

Painting is Untitled, I usually signed my paintings, but do not see any on this one or year. I would guess it was done in 1994 though. I can sign the back if you'd like.



15"x32 1/4". It is 1 1/2" deep.

I have an MFA from Miami University in Oxford Ohio in Painting, and ended up in Wyoming through a stay at the Ucross Foundation shortly after grad school.

I will be listing other paintings and prints shortly.
