Mixed media on cradled wooden panel, 8x8 inches. Acrylics made from raw pigment, ink and charcoal. Sage and olive greens sit against soft warm neutrals, anchored by dense charcoal-black passages at lower left. Layered, weathered surface built through repeated washes and drying stages. Part of the Alpha Series, an ongoing exploration of wabi-sabi aesthetics and restrained mark-making.
