"Summer Angel" pays tribute to the mesmerizing beauty of a Midwest summer, filled with the scent of the alfalfa, and cotton from cottonwood trees blowing gracefully in the breeze. This piece captures a figure spinning joyfully under the summer sun, embodying bliss and radiating light. Echoes of my past as a fashion designer are woven into her dress, which is enhanced with pressed rice paper. Emotional phrases are delicately embedded within the folds of her garment, disseminating their sentiments into the surrounding fields. The painting, rendered in watercolor, presents a harmonious fusion of nature, emotion, and personal history.
