This diptych, titled Milburn Creek Boat Launch, captures the serene natural beauty of a cherished local spot using the immediacy and vibrancy of soft pastels. Created on site, these series reflect my connection to the environment, portraying the interplay of light, water, and foliage as experienced in the moment.
Each panel offers a unique perspective of the creek, illustrating the dynamic relationship between the shifting skies and the surrounding landscape. The textures and colors were informed by the atmosphere that day—vivid greens and blues meet earthy tones to evoke the sense of calm and vitality this space provides.
Through this diptych, I aim to celebrate the transformative power of nature and encourage viewers to appreciate the tranquil yet ever-changing beauty in their own surroundings.
