“Shepherds Warning” is a striking visual meditation on the tension between beauty and foreboding in nature. Awash in vivid hues of crimson, rose, and deep violet, this piece captures the fleeting moment when dawn or dusk stains the sky — a time-honoured signal to shepherds of the weather to come. We see this often, across our ocean, the vast land; at sunrise, at sunset. 
I wanted my brushwork to evoke a sense of restless movement, as if the clouds themselves whisper secrets of approaching storms. Beneath the bold sky, softer elements hint at a quiet landscape bracing for change. Shepherds Warning invites you to pause and reflect on the signs we read in the natural world, and the delicate balance between awe and apprehension that they stir within us.
