About This Piece
While painting wild tulips scattered across a field, I am immersed in a quiet moment. Using gentle brushstrokes to suggest a warm breeze moving through the field, I’m also creating expressive marks to show no two are identical in any way; but have a strong intention to enjoy this quiet time together. I'm pleased to have captured fragments of nature’s beauty!
