Taking Detours shows an abstracted landscape where sky and earth meet. The sky is filled with swirling clouds in white, gray, and soft blue, creating a sense of movement. Below, deep greens and browns form a textured ground, with a thin light strip suggesting the horizon.

The use of oil and cold wax adds texture, applied with palette knives, cards, and fingers. This gives the painting a tactile, layered feel, making each mark stand out. The bold strokes highlight a mood that is both moving and calm, capturing a moment between change and stillness.

The colors mix dark earth tones with cool sky shades, creating a thoughtful and quiet energy. This artwork invites us to reflect on the unexpected paths life can take and offers a space to explore.
