“Northeast Texas is where the prairies of north central Texas meet the piney woods of the south. It’s also a very rural, agricultural area with wide expanses of ranch land and cultivated fields. While there is nothing dramatic or majestic about it, it is a constant source of inspiration for me. What inspired this piece, and all of my work, is the transformation of an ordinary landscape by changing light—those quiet, transcendent moments. The challenge here was to capture that clarity of light without losing the sense of atmosphere and mood. I like that it conveys a sense of quiet beauty and that fleeting, almost sensual quality of autumn.”
