A moment of reflection: these little gnomes keep asking questions without using words, and I kept answering on canvas. 2026,13 is a 20 x 20 oil—chunky brushwork, a fluffy grey beard, a tall worn hat and a warm ochre plane that would sit beautifully above a hearth or in a cozy entryway. You might spot the tiny '2025' stamped in the corner — a playful wink at editions and time. It's part of the Happy Holidays collection, a series that plays with distance and closeness, humor and quiet reflection.
