Description
"Thirteen" presents a weathered buffalo skull rendered in layered acrylic against a deep blue field, punctuated by thirteen hand-painted gold stars. Late-summer light and Montana skies inform the color choices—cool cobalt meets warm, sunlit washes—so the work feels like a moment caught between day and night.
The thirteen stars nod to the original colonies and to America’s 250th, folding historical reference into a contemporary composition. The skull follows a near–golden-section alignment, where architectural geometry meets loose, energetic brushwork. Tall wildflowers and magenta accents thread the foreground, introducing soft unpredictability that balances the work’s structured elements.

When I create something, I want it to last—not just physically, but emotionally.
