Stone Conversations

Acrylic, charcoal, chine collè on arches 140 lb watercolor paper.

22x30x1"

This work was created during my residency at Cortijo el Moro in Andalucía, where the mountain landscape became both subject and collaborator. I began with gestural charcoal marks that echoed the rock forms visible from the studio. Through layers of acrylic — yellow ochre, zinc white, and pioxazine purple — I worked to capture the balance between solidity and change, light and erosion. Stone Conversations is part of a two-piece series exploring the dialogue between structure and landscape.
