Embers Beneath Black Hills
Watercolor and ink on paper · Abstract Expressionism
Layered washes and dense, feathery marks form an abstract terrain of dark ridges, rust-colored slopes, and pale mineral passages. The composition stretches horizontally like a compressed mountain range or weathered riverbed, with raw paper showing through along the upper and lower edges. Its rough contours and smudged transitions give the piece a tactile, elemental presence, poised between landscape study and gestural abstraction.
