A quiet afternoon study focusing on the soft, fluid movement of a high-desert water canal. For this piece, I shifted to a smooth badger hair brush to capture the buttery transitions of the sky and the glowing, warm reflections in the water. The sharp, solid silhouette of the background mountains anchors the composition. This intimate plein air study carries the fresh, immediate energy of the afternoon light

This study was completed as part of a master workshop series with renowned landscape painter Frank Serrano, focusing on capturing honest light and powerful shapes directly from nature. Ships unframed.
