Oil on hardboard20 x 24 in

creating a lively study of form

Acrylic on canvas

the terrain built from thick

both still present

Children move through the haze

where jagged peaks cascade from warm

Painted from memory

laughter cutting through the quiet

in brush and oil

but the goats retreat to a ribbon of shade beneath eucalyptus trees

marking the moment when destruction and renewal coexist — neither past nor future fully dominant
