Print of an interior scene with a tv stand, side table, lamp, and lifting weights. The tv screen reflects the tops of two figures in the otherwise still and empty room. The lighting in the room is dark and slightly eerie, contrasted primarily by the white background of the tv screen. The mark making on this print provides a softness and atmosphere to the piece, appearing at first like a charcoal or deep graphite drawing. The boxy tv in the center and the slatted curtains behind it cement this piece in the 1990s and add a now nostalgic air to the composition.

Along the bottom of the print, in faint graphite, is written "A/P TV" "Darien Payne" on the right side, indicating that this copy is the Artist Proof copy.
Signed and dated "Darien Payne 1994."

Darien Payne (American, b. 1951) is an artist and printmaker from Santa Cruz, CA. She is primarily known for small scale, finely detailed watercolors, often with everyday scenes as the subject.
