In Jewel Patina, a luminous column of golden yellows and deep oranges rises through the canvas, framed by hints of cool blues and rich purples. This radiant center, textured with Thompson’s signature layering technique, evokes the glow of precious stones or molten metal, capturing an essence of warmth that feels almost tangible. The intricate surface, with its cracked, aged appearance, creates a patina effect that brings depth and richness, as if the colors have emerged through layers of time and weather.
This piece resonates with the glowing quality seen in Ochre Energy, yet Jewel Patina feels more intense, drawing the eye toward its brilliant core. The contrast between the warm center and cooler, shadowed edges suggests a journey from light to darkness, embodying a quiet strength and resilience. Through this interplay of colors, Thompson captures an inner luminosity, inviting the viewer to experience the transformative power of light as it emerges from within, radiating warmth and depth.
