18 X 24 Acrylic on Canvas
“Smithsonian Afternoon” grew out of a late summer visit to the Smithsonian gardens, when the air felt heavy with color and everything seemed in bloom at once.
The composition moves like a walk through the garden. Oversized petals, looping leaves, and layered shapes overlap and drift across the surface. Pink, chartreuse, blue, and gold sit side by side, echoing the way flowers compete and coexist in a single bed. Some forms feel defined, others dissolve into brushstrokes and washes, like memories softening at the edges.
You can sense the warmth of the day in the vertical pulls of paint and the saturated color. The piece does not aim to document a specific plant. Instead, it captures the rhythm of that afternoon. The abundance. The quiet movement. The way color holds your attention and slows you down.
This painting is about being present in a place where growth feels effortless and time feels suspended, even if only for a moment.
