Wild Garden at Dusk

A constellation of starburst forms erupts across a deep sage-green field — each one a distinct explosion of color reaching outward with jagged, organic tendrils. There's a pale mint-green burst in the upper left, a sprawling copper-and-orange cluster dominating the top center, a bold yellow sun-shape at the heart, electric blue punctuations, and a vivid red-and-white bloom anchoring the lower right. Smaller, darker forms lurk in the corners and margins like shadows of flowers that haven't yet opened. The whole surface reads like a wild meadow caught in that last golden hour before the light drops. This piece is built almost entirely with Golden Interference acrylics, and the macro shots tell the real story. That pale green form in the upper left shifts into lavender and pink depending on your angle — the close-up reveals an iridescent surface that moves between mint, violet, and pearl. The copper starbursts carry a metallic warmth that transitions to blue-gold as you walk past. The red bloom at lower right glows with interference violet and green undertones woven through the crimson. This painting genuinely changes its palette throughout the day as natural light moves across it. Each starburst was laid down in rapid succession — thick dollops of paint dragged outward from center points in a single decisive motion. You can see in the detail shots how the interference layers fold over and under each other, creating ridges and valleys where color pools and catches light differently. The green ground was brushed in quick horizontal strokes, still visible through the texture, giving the whole composition a sense of atmosphere and depth behind the action. It's fast work with slow consequences — the forms are immediate, but the color relationships keep revealing themselves over time.
