Inspired by drone footage of the Santa Ynez Valley in spring, this painting translates the landscape’s lush patterns into a richly textural and vibrant composition. Layers of color and movement echo the rolling hills, fields, and shifting light seen from above, capturing the energy of the valley as it comes alive after the winter rains. Rather than a literal depiction, the work reflects the sensation of viewing the land from the air—where texture, rhythm, and color become the language of place.
