Summer Field I, oil on canvas 42"x42"x2"
Original oil on canvas with frame 42"x42"x2", 2024
This painting captures the warmth and vibrancy of a sunlit meadow, where golden grasses glow under the light, contrasting beautifully with the cool greens and purples of the trees. I used thick, expressive strokes to build texture, letting the colors layer freely to create movement and depth. The winding path draws you into the scene, leading toward the distant horizon, where soft blues add a sense of openness and tranquility.
I wanted to bring out the energy of the landscape while keeping a sense of calm, playing with the contrast between light and shadow. The way the sunlight filters through the trees adds a dynamic, almost fleeting quality—like stepping into a moment just before dusk, when everything is bathed in warm, golden light.
