Field Note No. 01 - The Return

Oil, oil stick, and watercolor on canvas, 12 x 12 in

The Return is a celebration of quiet renewal. Built from vibrant layers of green, it carries the energy of the first signs of spring—those fleeting moments when the landscape begins to breathe again.

New growth unfolds gently. This painting reflects that same steady becoming, reminding us that change often begins beneath the surface long before it can be seen. It is a meditation on hope, resilience, and the quiet joy of beginning again.
