| This piece is inspired by my deep connection to the mountains, forests, and lakes—reflected in the cool blues and rugged, craggy textures throughout the work. The changing seasons and shifts in my environment often influence my palette, and in this case, the onset of winter combined with the anticipation of an upcoming trip to Austria helped shape the mood of the painting.
Romance of the wild is about the drama of the Austrian alps, the sharpness of rocks, the smell of the soil and the fresh unpolluted air. |
