What the Wind Almost Said / 36 x 36 / acrylic on canvas

The story begins in a wide, open place where nothing is fixed for long. The sky moves in thick, expressive layers—blue folding into white, white brushing against soft traces of pink—as if the air itself is trying to speak but keeps changing its mind. The clouds feel close, textured, alive with intention.

Below, the land stretches outward in quiet greens and pale golds, interrupted by a faint ribbon of water that catches the light before slipping away again. It doesn’t demand to be followed; it simply exists, marking the passage of something unseen. The horizon holds steady, a calm line beneath the shifting sky.

What the Wind Almost Said is a story about near-moments—thoughts that arrive just before language, feelings that pass without explanation. It captures the space between knowing and understanding, where the world feels generous, unfinished, and full of things that don’t need to be named to be real.
