Ancestral Light on the Blue Ridge measures 9 by 12 inches and is rendered in watercolor, capturing a mountain landscape that transitions between day and night. The composition features multiple layers of ridges and peaks, depicted in nuanced shades of purple and blue that convey both depth and atmosphere. The sky occupies a significant portion of the scene, shifting from warm yellows and oranges near the horizon to cooler blues above, with broad brushstrokes suggesting the movement of clouds or evening haze. In the foreground, slender branches with small leaves and red flowers provide a natural frame, their darker blues and greens offering contrast and grounding the view. The piece reflects a quiet, contemplative mood rooted in place—evoking the Blue Ridge Mountains at sunset and the enduring presence of ancestral connections tied to this landscape.
