2 Roads

I began with raw, hand-stretched canvas—unprimed and receptive—to let the weave itself become part of the painting. The landscape emerges from this dialogue between pigment and fabric: two roads split the composition, drawing the eye inward toward a dense forest rendered in muted tones. Behind the trees, hills rise softly against a quiet sky. The forest holds most of my attention—layered greens and shadows that suggest depth without sharp detail—while the roads serve as pathways into that wooded space. But the real subject is how the canvas absorbs the paint differently across its surface, creating subtle shifts in color and texture that no primed ground could offer. The landscape is there, but it's inseparable from the material it lives on. 6x6
