Renewal 1: Tender Days (Zehr Fields)
An ode to spring and to the forces of renewal bursting through all that is dormant. These landscapes announce the breathless beauty of the changing seasons, right there in the artist’s everyday vicinity. Take pause from the churn and for a moment experience something more immediate, more tactile. Amid the cycles of life, there is a hunger for renewal and a desire to share in the richness of bloom.
