I’m happy to introduce my latest oil painting, "Rustic Walls Beneath the Dappled Canopy." This 10 by 12 inch piece captures a quiet moment where a weathered brick house sits partially hidden beneath a canopy of trees. I focused on the warm earth tones of the bricks, the gentle play of light filtering through leaves, and the subtle textures that bring the scene to life. Painting this felt like stepping into a calm, secluded place—one that invites you to pause and appreciate the simple beauty of a rural setting. I hope it offers a sense of quiet comfort and connection when you see it.
