“SUNSET TIPI” by Kira Fercho

This painting explodes with raw energy and joy—it feels alive. The bold, saturated colors and thick, expressive palette knife work radiates emotion more than detail. It’s like witnessing a memory through feeling rather than sight. The golden sunset pouring over the landscape brings warmth and an almost sacred reverence. That sky doesn’t just set the scene—it sings. There’s a spiritual electricity in the way the light touches the tipi, casting it as both a physical structure and a spiritual anchor. The use of color—neon blues, fiery oranges, lush teals—turns the tipi into a symbol of resilience against time, chaos, and transformation. I painted it to feel celebratory, almost like the land itself is dancing. The piece makes me feel grateful—like it's reminding me of the quiet strength in tradition, the beauty of a home rooted in nature.
