Emerging is a small tempera painting, just 3 1/2 by 5 inches, that captures a moment of transformation through bold, fluid color. Vivid yellows, purples, reds, and oranges weave together across a textured surface, creating shapes that suggest continuous motion and energy. The thick layers of paint build depth and vitality, while the black border and white matting frame the composition with sharp contrast.

Matted and framed to 5 1/2 x 7 3/4
