Fields of grain ripple like the sea,
Under the midday sun’s golden decree.
Golden grasses dance in light and shade,
Vibrant hues and energy in motion displayed.

This piece began with broad, sweeping strokes, capturing the dynamic motion of the fields. Layers of golden hues and highlights bring the scene to life, radiating the energy and vibrancy of nature in motion.
Material
