Whirlwind is a compact oil painting, just 2 by 3 inches, where I explored the energy found in layered color and texture. Bold strokes of yellow, red, and orange dominate the center, moving with urgency against cooler patches of blue, purple, gray, and white. The paint is applied thickly in places, creating a tactile depth that invites closer inspection. Framed with a white mat and a broad, dark border, the piece balances intensity with calm, capturing a moment of vibrant motion that feels both spontaneous and deliberate. This painting reflects a dynamic conversation between color and form, where energy flows without restraint.
