Vernal

Vernal abstract painting with dark layered brushwork, warm orange glow, and moody spring-inspired textures

Vernal is the joy I find in waiting for warmer days. Even though I appreciate winter for its own pleasures—time spent in or on the snow, and landscapes covered in a unifying blanket of white—spring brings the promise of softer days and, above all, the arrival of summer. In this piece, that feeling is expressed through an instinctive abstract style, with layered brushwork, deep earthy tones, dark atmospheric forms, and warm bursts of color. The composition feels both moody and alive, capturing the emotional transition between the quiet weight of winter and the rising warmth of spring.
