Oil Paintings | Miles Phillips

Portraits

A 25 year period of portraits mainly of ladies. They're selected to model the universality of emotion and the transparency of vulnerability. All portraits below are available for purchase.

Buddha Temple

One of my favorite books is 'Siddartha' that I read long ago written by Herman Hesse. Essentially it's about Buddha finding his peace after encountering many things along his journey of life. What is Buddha was a woman? Anyway, this painting is about that place of contemplation and mid-thought.

Slice of Life

This painting is of a person who is in a very contemplative mood. Her regarding her next step is visually connected with the geometric shapes which lurk in the background of her mind.

Pennies From Heaven

Along with all the fun and excitement in life, it's important to realize what the big goal and purpose is that keeps us in check and in good health and focused.

White Rose Sunset

One of my favorites is this bright and colorful paintings that tries to signify the mood of the woman sitting in the foreground. Colored stripes, white aromatic roses, sunset beyond with ocean just glancing through mirrors the subconscious disposition of the 3D dimension ie: not here nor there.

Renaissance Child

An oil painting mostly of a time that was from long ago looking into the distant future of today.

The young woman holds a tiara and has to decide what she will do in the next few days. There is a strong religious / spiritual aspect to the depth of her routine. It's as though she's stuck in time.

Aztec Warrior

The young woman depicted in the painting wears is in simple think pink shirt. A fan shaped design of a Mexican motif is slightly behind her. It follows wherever she goes like a guardian angel.

Angry Red

You can dream as long as you act on your dreams. If you carry out this simple process, life will be very much different. Is it destiny or free will?

Tangerine Orange

The overall flavor of the color orange saturates the landscape scene. So much mystery and randomness of the situation. It doesn't matter. It's all about the orange color/ flavor.

Fur Coat

Some arrangements of designs next to or behind this woman set in the 40's adds to the distraction of the party mood.

A painting with similarities to the late wondrous Grace Kelly. Set in a Greek environment, everything is of the paradise setting. Is she there now?

I love this painting for its rich texture, flavorful color and mystic pose and especially that purple dress all silky and smooth.

Woman in Black II

A 2m x 2m canvas that has been rolled up in my living room with boxes on top of it. I wonder what it would look like if i tried putting it on the wall to have a look?
