Work on paper, Untitled (February 12) (india ink and gouache on Arches paper, 40” x 35", 2018) by artist Rodney Carswell. Illustrates a key late period and type of work in Carswell's career after he gained widespread recognition, in which he shifted from heavily built and shaped canvasses to flatter works, first in small paintings and then with this new series, to works on paper.

The image serves an informational and educational purpose as the primary means of illustrating a new type of work (works on paper) and critical moment in the artist's practice and technique: his recent shift from paintings to works on paper. Because the article is about an artist and his work, the omission of the image would significantly limit a reader's understanding and ability to visualize this method in his art and his development. Carswell's work of this type and this work are discussed in the article and elsewhere.

There is no free equivalent of this or any other of this series by Carswell, so the image cannot be replaced by a free image.

The image will not affect the value of the original work or limit the copyright holder's rights or ability to distribute the original due to its low resolution and the general workings of the art market, which values the actual work of art. Because of the low resolution, illegal copies could not be made.
