NEGATIVE SPACE - LOOKING INTO THE YARD
This selection of paintings captures the essence of long, whimsical summer days in Central Texas, where heat stretches time. Inspired by O’Neal’s view through a window into her backyard, these works evoke the stillness and magic of a hot Texas summer. Vibrant brushstrokes and organic shapes reflect the sun-drenched hours, inviting the viewer to feel the rhythm of the season—where time slows and nature’s pulse can be sensed in every stroke. Through these works, the artist conveys both the peaceful solitude and lively energy of summer.
