Meeting of Landscapes

This realist oil painting depicts the unique seam line of the local landscape, at the geographical transition zone between the arid desert and the mountain foothills. At the center of the work stands a rugged rock cliff in warm earth tones, illustrating the sharp contrast between the differing terrains. The entire composition echoes a seasonal dialogue between winter and summer: the lush green carpet and delicate wildflowers, born from winter rains, stand alongside the exposed stone and ochre hues that signal the approaching summer dryness. Above, the bright blue sky and drifting soft clouds complete this sense of a fleeting moment, enveloping the viewer in an atmosphere of vast space, enduring strength, and the timeless beauty of a shifting ancient landscape.
