Original artwork description:

While painting Gaze in the Wind, I aimed to capture a moment of profound stillness—a Native man gazing into the distance through wind and snow. His expression holds stories carved by time, and I wanted to express that enduring strength and quiet dignity through light, texture, and gaze.
I used thick brushwork to sculpt the facial planes and emphasized the light source from the upper left to bring depth and volume. The background is loosely painted to focus the viewer’s eye on the face. The warm reds of the scarf contrast with the cool grays of the background, adding tension and energy to the piece.
