"Why Not" captures the movement and depth of water through densely layered impasto. Working within a spectrum of teals, sage, and deep ocean blues, each mark builds upon the last to create a surface that shifts with changing light. The cool palette evokes the constant motion of tides - sometimes tranquil, sometimes turbulent, always in flux. This piece invites close observation, rewarding viewers who take time to discover the subtle color transitions and sculptural quality of the paint itself.
