The Courage of Elsewhere

Encaustic, Vinyl Record on Cradle Board 11” x 14”

The painting moves with a quiet, rhythmic flight, shaping both color and motion. Within its layered turbulence lingers the restless energy of a sky holding its breath before the storm. Earthen fields, imbued with deepening indigo, lie in wait beneath sweeping streaks of ember-orange and molten rose that ripple across the atmosphere. The flock abandons a winter’s tree, carrying the eye upward through a soft veil of tempestuous clouds, beckoning the thunder’s roar, leaving the landscape to listen for the first distant rumble.
