About This Work

Pale lavender snow crowns Goura's peaks as the village below settles into ochre and weathered stone at dusk.

A patient quiet settles over everything. You can feel the path of it, from the warm stone of the houses and terraced ground, up into the cool of the hills. The earth tones feel so close, answered by the lavender and pale gray of the snow so far above. Even the sky breathes, carrying that last dusky rose before night. The brushwork shifts with the distance—smooth for the sky, but you can almost feel the dry texture on the stone. Long, soft shadows lean across the slopes as the hollows fill with blue. Evening rests over the valley, holding its quiet between day and night.
