Blue Velvet Flamingo

The painting draws you in with its deep blue ground alive with overlapping strokes of soft pink, lavender, and pale gold. These gestural marks weave and break across the surface, creating an active rhythm that feels both chaotic and balanced at once. From a distance the cooler blues hold everything together while the warmer tones flicker and advance, giving the whole composition a quiet sense of movement and light.

Spending time with the work, its physical layers become more apparent. Thick and thin passages sit alongside one another, with some marks catching the light while others sink back into shadow. Small shifts in color and texture continue to appear, changing the painting's character as natural light moves across it or as you return to it on different days.
