"Poppies Flow Through It", a 48 by 60-inch oil painting, where a mountain stream weaves its way through forest shadows and bursts of red flowers. Working together, Kevin and I layered jewel-toned hues that both reveal and conceal the scene's depths, inviting the viewer into a space where light and color pulse with quiet energy. Aspen trees, their white bark marked with black, frame the flow of water toward distant mountains, bathed in soft purple and lavender.
