What Remains Warm

This painting started loud and stayed that way. The color does most of the talking—hot pinks and oranges layered, scraped back, then pushed again until they felt right. There’s no calm center here, just energy moving around itself. It’s about the kind of warmth that doesn’t fade politely—it sticks around longer than expected and makes itself known.
