In "Balancing Act," Leafstedt captures the delicate tension of navigating life’s unpredictable paths. Rendered in cold wax and oil over wood, this piece reflects a dynamic energy, where textured layers and muted tones create a sense of movement and depth. The figure, subtly suggested amidst sweeping strokes, seems to veer off from the conventional “straight and narrow,” embracing an adventurous spirit. Leafstedt’s choice of wax on wood enhances the tactile quality of the work, grounding the abstract figure in a moment of introspection and whimsy. This small-format painting (12 x 16 inches) brings an intimate yet profound presence to any space.
