Your painting technique embodies what I consider the essence of "pure painting"—a direct, heartfelt engagement with nature, where color is thoughtfully explored through the nuances of light ("Morning at Dunwich" or " Last Light") . The swift, expressive trace of your brushwork ("Sunrise" or "Autumn Sunset") not only captures the moment but also infuses each scene with a vivid sense of movement and life. What strikes me most is how each carefully placed mark on the canvas becomes a meaningful detail, transforming the entire piece into a living, breathing composition. The beauty of your work truly lies in these intentional gestures—small moments that resonate with depth and intention.

Thank you so so much Lea🙏 that’s such a huge compliment and so encouraging.
