The Sky Was Doing Most of the Talking 36×36 / acrylic + canvas

The story begins on a day when the land chose to listen. A wide field stretches quietly beneath a low line of trees, its greens softened by light that moves without urgency. Nothing in the foreground insists on attention; the earth seems content to be present rather than noticed.

Above it all, the sky takes the lead. Broad gestures of white cloud sweep across an open blue, layered and expressive, as if working through a thought out loud. The horizon holds steady, a calm counterpoint to the motion overhead, grounding the conversation without interrupting it.

The Sky Was Doing Most of the Talking is a story about scale and patience—about moments when meaning arrives not from action, but from observation. It invites the viewer to stand still long enough to hear what has been happening all along.
