This acrylic painting on wrapped canvas is inspired by photos taken during a visit to Angel Island. The composition highlights the quiet stillness of an abandoned structure set against the open, expansive landscape. Light and shadow play a central role, with deep, angular forms contrasting the soft, pastel tones of the environment to create a sense of time standing still. The brushwork combines loose, layered strokes with areas of precision, evoking both the building’s weathered history and the serenity of the surrounding space. The palette—a mix of earthy tones, muted greens, and subtle blues—reflects the tension between human presence and nature’s reclamation. This piece captures the haunting beauty of forgotten places and invites viewers to contemplate themes of memory, stillness, and the passage of time. Awarded Honorable Mention in Teravarna 7th Color Juried Art Contest.
