"Between Mountains: A Dialogue in Color" is a diptych composed of two 10" x 10" gouache paintings on a birch panel. The left painting features a vibrant landscape with a bold, golden yellow sky that transitions into shades of pink and purple at the horizon. Below, dark mountain silhouettes create a striking contrast against a textured foreground of tall grasses in green and yellow.

In contrast, the right painting offers a more subdued interpretation of the landscape. It presents a gently blended yellow sky over rolling green terrain, with the horizon softly marked by the presence of indistinct trees. The subtle gradients of color in this piece evoke a tranquil and serene atmosphere.

Both works are inspired by a photograph taken between Santa Fe and Eldorado, New Mexico, capturing the Ortiz and Sandia mountains. The diptych showcases contrasting styles and color schemes, with the left characterized by an expressionistic approach and the right by minimalist impressionism. These artistic decisions highlight a dialogue between vibrant expression and serene minimalism, unified by a shared color palette.
