Layer of Summer is a celebration of warmth and growth — a moment where nature is fully awake. I used acrylic paint, working with palette knives and various sponges to build texture and movement across the canvas. The painting portrays a vibrant green mountain under a bright blue sky, with bursts of red flowers bringing contrast and energy to the scene. I focused on layering and texture to create depth, but this piece feels lighter, more expansive — like a memory of a perfect summer hike frozen in color.
