Impression of Instinct: A Collector's Discovery
When I created this piece, my goal was to capture the sheer instinct and energy of a moment in the landscape—a feeling, not just a sight. This is where my palette knife work truly comes into its own.
I deliberately used a heavy impasto technique, particularly on the hillside, building up thick, textured strata of rich color—the deep greens and luminous golds of late autumn. These are not flat washes of paint; they are three-dimensional, almost sculptural ridges that make the work physically alive.
I hoping you, the collector, will see the spontaneity in every mark. The foreground, with its sweeping, fluid strokes, reflects the light and movement you might find on water, creating a powerful tension with the dense, rugged forms above.
This is a painting about the transformative power of oil on Masonite. It’s a small, intimate piece that delivers a massive punch of texture and contemporary style, perfect for adding a vivid, energetic focal point to your collection.
I feel this painting truly captures the raw, beautiful confrontation of light and landscape. I hope you feel that connection too.
Framed under glass in a black floating frame, the painting is gently elevated from its backing, emphasizing its tactile surface and sense of quiet presence.
