In "A Taste of Summer," I surrendered to the organic intelligence of pigment and medium, allowing vibrant citrus light to dance with flowing blues, greens, and magentas across the canvas. This painting emerged through conversation rather than command—my hands responding to what the colors themselves seemed to desire as they merged, dispersed into tiny speckles, and carved their own pathways through the composition. The work captures that ephemeral moment when summer's radiance fully inhabits your senses—the warmth penetrating skin, the brightness behind closed eyelids, the sweetness lingering on your tongue.
