About This Work

The last amber light still holds on Kefalonia's ridges while the valleys below have already turned indigo.

A deep quiet settles over this whole landscape. The light comes from somewhere just beyond the edge, grazing the highest ridges while the valleys breathe in cool slate and indigo. See how it pulls you from the rough rocks in the front, all the way back to where those distant hills just dissolve into the sky? The paint is thicker here, letting the earth breathe, but back there it’s all soft and blended. Dusk settles over the island, and time itself seems to pause.
