Eclipse
Eclipse is an oil and silver leaf painting by Brad Kunkle, eighteen inches square, painted in 2015 and now in a private collection.
Kunkle says this painting inspired the pose of the pinky swear title card in the opening of Anne with an E, the series whose main titles he made new paintings for. A signed limited edition print sells on his site.
