Middle Child

$250.00

Original 8×10 Acrylic/Metallic/Watercolor/Paint Pen 1of3 of 3 piece collection

Middle Child — Portrait 1 of 3

Stephan Jerrod offers a quietly personal look at the middle child — caught between siblings, both overlooked and essential. This is feeling, not fact: the odd posture, the misunderstood look, the small, steady presence.

Muted colors and loose shapes avoid a fixed center. Empty space speaks of absence; layered strokes suggest hidden stories. The middle child is both strange and familiar: awkward humor, fierce loyalty, a knowing grin.

As part of a triptych, the work shows family roles: the eldest holds order, the youngest charms, and the middle finds identity through clever flexibility. Notice the soft light and rough edges. The portrait doesn’t name the middle child — it shows how it feels: quietly defiant and richly complex.
