Santa Ynez Valley Spring is a textured acrylic painting inspired by drone photography of vibrant green grass emerging in spring across the Santa Ynez Valley. Built primarily with palette-knife application, the surface is layered with sculptural marks and shifting tones of green that emphasize movement, growth, and the physical presence of paint.

Grounded in real observation and translated through expressive texture, Santa Ynez Valley Spring brings a sense of freshness, calm energy, and connection to place into contemporary interiors, galleries, or collections inspired by landscape and abstraction.
