About This Work

Lavender and pale yellow push through the grass at Nerantza, the olive groves receding into the hills behind them.

A quiet energy breathes through this landscape. A faint path seems to guide you in, a soft curve through the wildflowers that leads the eye over the gentle hills, toward the olive groves and stone walls settling in the distance. The greens are so fresh—and see how the pale yellows and lavender rise from warmer earth tones. Up close, the brushwork is fine enough to describe a single flower. But farther back, it softens, dissolving into the light. Daylight washes over everything evenly, keeping the shadows soft. A quiet stillness rests over the field, patient and unhurried.
