When I started "Study in Luminous Gravity," I was thinking about how light sometimes feels heavy; like you could reach out and catch a handful of it. I wanted to capture that specific, golden moment in a garden where everything feels like it’s overflowing and just about to spill over. In my studio, this piece became a dance between control and letting go. I used the drips to let the paint find its own way down the canvas, mimicking the way heavy summer rain or wilting petals surrender to the pull of the earth. I love the tension there, the soft, messy joy of those "golden" yellows and pale pinks crashing against the dark, jagged lines of the branches. It’s that contrast between the structure of self and the beautiful chaos that grows around it. For me, this isn't just a painting of a garden; it’s a record of a mood. It’s about the abundance we feel when we stop trying to tidy everything up and just let the light fall where it wants to. I hope when you stand in front of it, you feel that same sense of "unfolding"; a reminder that there is a quiet, heavy kind of beauty in just letting things be as they are.
