Original Hand-Painted Art: The Heat. The Hush.These paintings began with warmth. Layer after layer of red and gold like the height of summer when the air feels thick and everything hums. The background holds the intensity. The deadlines. The noise. The long, hot days that stretch a little too far. And then came the blue. Cool turquoise leaves sweeping across the heat. Fine blue line work. White lacy patterns soft, almost like a breeze moving through open curtains. The calm doesnt erase the heat.
