Poetic Pastels

Welcome to my studies in quiet contemplation.

These images may be landscape, wildlife, or architecture like bridges and ranger stations, but they share common techniques such as negative space, minimal clutter, and gentle, directional luminescence. When processing, I find inspiration in Chinese paintings, pastel watercolors, and colored pencil sketches.

I hope that as you study them, they encourage you to pause and deeply breathe in the moment, just as I did when capturing and processing them.
