Tangerine Dream
Some paintings begin with careful observation. Others begin with a question. Tangerine Dream began with a feeling. I wanted to create a world that felt completely joyful. A place where imagination could gently reshape reality and invite us somewhere filled with warmth, energy and possibility. From the moment I painted the brilliant neon tangerine sun, I knew this wasn't going to be a quiet landscape. It was going to become a celebration of colour, optimism and the freedom that painting allows.
I have always loved those moments when nature feels so extraordinary that it almost seems imagined. Here, I allowed myself to take that feeling one step further. The glowing sun becomes the heart of the painting, quietly transforming the atmosphere without asking the rest of the world to surrender to it. Around it, birds move through the trees, flowers bloom, pathways invite exploration and quiet stories begin to unfold. I enjoy that gentle tension between what feels believable and what couldn't possibly exist. It is in that space that imagination becomes most exciting.
As with all of my paintings, this world grew from a place somewhere between admiration and invention. Every time I paint, I am reminded that nature's own vision is mostly unmatched. Rather than trying to compete with it, I see painting as a conversation with it—responding to its endless beauty by asking, "What else might be possible?" Tangerine Dream became an opportunity to play with composition, light and atmosphere while remaining deeply rooted in my admiration for the extraordinary richness of the natural world.
There is no single story within this painting. Instead, it is filled with countless moments waiting quietly for you to discover them. Follow whichever path your eye chooses. Pause with a bird resting amongst the branches. Lose yourself in the flowers for a while before wandering somewhere entirely different. Every corner of the painting contributes to a larger living world that I hope never feels completely explored. I won't tell you where to look, because the most meaningful discoveries are always the ones you make for yourself.
Above all, I wanted Tangerine Dream to be a place you genuinely wanted to step into. A world that feels familiar enough to believe in, yet touched by just enough imagination to make you wonder if somewhere like this could exist after all. I hope it offers a moment of escape, but even more than that, I hope it offers a sense of possibility. If, after spending time within this painting, the colours of a real sunset feel a little brighter, the beauty of a garden a little richer, or the natural world a little more extraordinary than you remembered, then it has achieved everything I hoped it would.
