"Silent Guardians" is a captivating piece measuring 18"x24", crafted using acrylic and gold leaf on panel. The artwork presents a minimalist landscape featuring two leafless trees against an expansive sky. The trees stand in a gently sloping field of golden-brown grass, where gold leaf accents enhance the natural texture, adding a luminous quality to the foreground.
The sky is painted with broad, expressive strokes of white and gray clouds, set against a soft blue background. This creates an impressive sense of depth and movement, adding dynamic contrast to the stark, solitary trees. The balanced composition emphasizes the dramatic interplay between the barren trees and the vast, vivid sky, resulting in a striking and serene scene.

Inspired by the serene landscapes of Oklahoma, this piece is part of an ongoing series that highlights the beauty of these natural settings. "Silent Guardians" is both contemplative and bold, elevating a simple landscape into a profound visual experience.
