About The Artwork

"Embrace of the South Mountains" is an exuberant impressionist painting that captures a magical sunset at the South Mountains State Park in Burke County, North Carolina. The artist's bold brush strokes and thick paint create a rich tapestry of colors that enthrall the viewer. In the foreground, we find an undulating landscape, with a lush patchwork of trees in brilliant oranges, reds, and greens. The brushwork is vigorous, and the color palette is striking, effectively conveying the sense of autumn leaves rustling in the gentle breeze. Here and there, green trees assert their presence, providing a stark contrast and a reminder of the transition of seasons. As the eye follows the gentle slopes of the landscape, the middle ground reveals the majestic peaks of the South Mountains. The mountains are painted with long, smooth brush strokes, and the shades of blues and purples suggest their massiveness and serenity. They serve as sentinels, guarding the secrets of the forests below. High above the mountains, the crowning glory of the painting is the bright circular sun. Its vivid yellow and orange hues dominate the sky, casting a warm, golden light over the entire landscape. The sun, painted with intense, swirling brush strokes, appears to be in motion, descending slowly as if bidding farewell to the day. The sky surrounding the sun is an explosion of colors – from the fiery reds and oranges near the horizon, softly transitioning to deeper purples and blues as the eye moves upward. This dazzling spectacle is rendered with expressionist colors that evoke emotion and leave the viewer in awe. In "Embrace of the South Mountains," the artist not only captures the physical beauty of the landscape but also touches upon the ephemeral, almost mystical quality of nature. The painting is an ode to the wilderness and the eternal dance of light and shadow, inviting viewers to bask in the golden embrace of the mountains.

My paintings are an intricate weaving of the elements of Impressionist masters like Monet and Post-impressionist artist Van Gogh. Each piece inspired by the vastness, splendor and beauty of nature and the outdoors. Exemplifying the medium’s pure expressive potential to transform the visible world by creating movement using intense complementary colors and layered energetic brush strokes. I desire to create a pictorial symphony that immerses the viewer in a visually stimulating, playful and dreamlike viewing experience. Each landscape focuses on the philosophy to be transformed, uplifted and tap into the subconscious by conveying a sense of comfort for the mind to wander the horizon of the image, reflect and meditate. "I want the unobtainable. Other artists paint a bridge, a house, a boat, and that's the end. They are finished. I want to paint the air which surrounds the bridge, the house, the boat, the beauty of the air in which these objects are located, and that is nothing short of impossible." -Claude Monet “I experience a period of frightening clarity in those moments when nature is so beautiful. I am no longer sure of myself, and the paintings appear as in a dream.” -Vincent Van Gogh
