Crimson Bloom Under Watch

A raw sketchbook painting centers on a vivid crimson-pink form with long, petal-like extensions, suspended within a loosely sketched circular setting. Small black, animal-like silhouettes gather across the upper field and along the lower edge, while rubbed charcoal marks and sweeping red strokes create a sense of movement around the central shape. The work’s immediacy comes from its uneven washes, exposed paper, and expressive, instinctive linework.
