Ember in the Mist
A moody acrylic painting on canvas built through soft, smoky layers of gray and black, interrupted by a small luminous burst of color. The composition balances abstraction with a figurative suggestion, drawing the eye inward and upward. Its atmospheric surface and restrained palette create a contemplative, quietly dramatic presence.
