About This Work

Broad ridges of Corinthian earth run toward a pale horizon beneath an afternoon light that holds steady across the whole valley floor.

The whole valley seems to hold a single, even light. It pulls you in past the foreground rocks and low vegetation, over the soft rise of the hills. Earthy umber and olive green warm the ground, catching golden highlights along the ridges while the shadows rest in cool slate. The brushwork breathes. Look how the paint feels thicker on those sunlit rocks, then softens and stretches into the hazy mountains and the open sky. A long quiet settles over the valley, the kind that holds the afternoon in place.
