The mixed media painting Flying Away captures the quiet melancholy of late November, as a flock of geese takes to the sky, their wings cutting through the crisp, fading light. The landscape below is muted, touched by the last warmth of autumn, while the birds embody both departure and renewal. Using layers of gouache, neocolors and pastels to express the bittersweet beauty of change—the stillness of what’s left behind and the movement toward something unknown. It’s a moment of transition, both in nature and within.
