This painting depicts the quarter profile of a young woman in a wicker sun hat in late afternoon sunlight against a pale cerulean sky with a smidgeon of the beach, ocean and surf in the background. She is turning away so we just see her brown hair flowing down over her pale blue zipper top with her suntanned arm and hand raised to her mouth. She is clutching a large wicker beach bag hanging from her shoulder, in bright reds, yellows, kelly greens, and highlights of bright turquoise. She is wearing a yellow bracelet and a white sailor’s knot bracelet which mimic the wicker bag beneath it. A navy blue hat band echoes this, in a diagonal counter to the bracelets.

Carpenter was born in 1953 in Greenville, Delaware, U.S.A. He studied with the painter Tom Bostelle near home and then went to the Rhode Island School of Design, where he earned a BFA in Film, in 1976. His work has been shown at the Museum of Contemporary Art, Denver, P.S.1, New York, and the Centre Pompidou, Paris. Carpenter's painting style is a cross between old master techniques and expressionism. He makes marks with flicks of a fully-loaded palette knife, but to a precise rendering of hue and tone in a representational image. The image is built up in countless layers of oil glazes, much as Vermeer worked, only in thick impasto. Peeking through the layers are often the transparent traces of a map or poetry. This idea is borrowed from pentimento, the inherent feature of oil paint that, as it dries, it becomes more transparent, revealing what's underneath.
