Face to Face (2023) Traditional and the first true greens

and the first true greens return to the Yukon

when the world briefly softens and slows

confident strokes of yellow

while sharp strokes of driftwood and willow branches anchor the scene in the Yukon floodplain

the bison skull rests among sun-dried grasses and deep shadow

Face to Face (2023) Traditional and the first true greensOil on canvas60 x 40 in Dozens of faces collide, overlap, and press toward the surface, each captured mid expression joy, rage, mockery, awe, boredom, disbelief. No single voice dominates; instead, the crowd becomes a single living organism made of conflicting emotions. The painting holds the overwhelming experience of being surrounded, seen, and scrutinized all at once. ProvenanceArtists Studio
