"Sandswept Blades." This piece explores the dance of tall grasses growing along sandy, rocky terrain of beach dunes. Using varied strokes in dark greens, blues, and warm ochres, I aimed to capture the texture and vibrancy of nature in motion. The soft, uneven ground and expansive sky modeled in washes and touches of gouache to create a sense of place and atmosphere.This artwork reflects my interest with how light and shadow play across organic forms, inviting you to pause and experience the quiet beauty found in natural landscapes.
