THE STORY BEHIND THE PAINTING

A chapter in light and place.

THE JOURNEY

Twin Peaks Ridge is built around the contrast between a glowing sky and the darker weight of the land beneath it. The ridge is less a literal description than a structure through which the changing light can be felt.

IN THE STUDIO

The composition was simplified around broad tonal masses, allowing the warm atmosphere above the ridge to carry much of the emotional weight.

THE SURFACE

Paint seen at close range.

At distance, the marks resolve into landscape. Up close, the work returns to paint—edges, transparent passages, knife marks and areas where the surface remains deliberately active.

COLLECTOR'S NOTE
