    Roadside Blue

    We pass these structures every day on the backroads of Georgia—weathered barns settling slowly into the landscape. This piece comes from a reference photo I snapped years ago, capturing the specific texture of the vertical siding and the tin roof.

    For this study, I wanted to contrast the intricate, scratchy pen work of the aged wood with a bold, abstract splash of blue. It pushes the sketch beyond a simple observation into something more graphic and modern. A memory of the road, captured in ink.

    A Fleeting Thought, Held

    This piece explores the visual and emotional dialogue between the enduring and the fleeting. The foreground is dominated by a vibrant bloom of bluebonnets, rendered with a delicate touch to emphasize their ephemeral nature – like a beautiful, transient thought taking tangible form. Their cool tones offer a moment of respite within the overall warmth of the composition, a temporary splash of serenity.

    The choice of a strong, almost cadmium orange-yellow for the sky was deliberate. It serves to create a sense of visual tension, a feeling of being enveloped or even constricted by the intensity of the atmosphere. This deliberate contrast in color and feeling aims to highlight the preciousness and temporary nature of the bluebonnets, making their ephemeral beauty all the more poignant against the persistent, almost weighty sky.
