"Dance" 7" x 10" Acrylic and Gouache on Handmade Linen Paper with a Deckled Edge

"Dance" captures a mesmerizing interplay between movement and stillness, nature and abstraction. The composition, built with sweeping brushstrokes and rich, earthy tones of deep green, ochre, and soft white, evokes the fluid motion of trees caught in an unseen rhythm. The swirling texture of the paint lends a tactile quality, creating a sense of energy and depth that draws the viewer into the scene. The trees appear to bend and sway, their forms merging and separating like dancers in an intimate duet. A golden under layer peeks through the organic shapes, suggesting warmth, vitality, and connection. The raw, frayed edges of the canvas reinforce the painting’s natural, unrestrained essence, as if the artwork itself is an extension of the landscape it represents.
