About This Work

A farmhouse at Velina sits low among dry trees, the mountains pulling back into bluish-gray behind it.

There's a deep quiet to this place, a warmth that settles into the earth. The farmhouse rests just off-center, held by the muted greens of the trees. Behind it, the mountains are a soft, distant line of bluish-gray. The ground is all warm earth tones, and even the greens feel dry, hinting at the soil beneath. The strokes that form the house are solid, but the land around it breathes with a looser texture—see how thick the paint is, catching light on the sunlit edges? Shadows fall short and crisp. A deep stillness holds the whole scene, the kind that settles over a hillside when time slows.
