"Mood, subtle drama, passion and a beautiful color harmony collide to make this piece a stand out for me. The artist has a way of using the pastel medium to interpret an environment that speaks to all. Confident bold strokes, when viewed up close, blend together to create the illusion of light the farther we step back from this painting."
