20" x 16" Acrylic on canvas — NOT FOR SALE — 2001
A small study from 2001 inspired by Claude Monet. Using acrylics on a compact 20" x 16" surface, it focuses on light, color, and loose brushwork rather than detail. Shapes blur into areas of reflected color and soft edges. Cool and warm tones mix to suggest atmosphere and changing light, while broken strokes and layers create glowing depth. The subject is water, sky, and foliage, with minimal lines to highlight fleeting effects instead of exact forms. The scale and medium make the piece feel intimate—an exercise in capturing brief moments of light and mood, honoring Impressionist methods with a personal, modern touch.
