In Ochre Energy, a radiant column of golden ochre rises boldly, flanked by hints of verdant greens, rustic reds, and touches of cool blue.

Thompson’s layering technique amplifies this effect, creating an almost tactile depth.

In Ochre Energy, a radiant column of golden ochre rises boldly, flanked by hints of verdant greens, rustic reds, and touches of cool blue. The textured surface captures a sense of energy coursing through the composition, as if the ochre core is a source of warmth and vitality pulsing outward. This vibrant center evokes a natural warmth reminiscent of fields at dusk or sunlight breaking through dense foliage, giving the piece a raw, elemental quality. Thompson’s layering technique amplifies this effect, creating an almost tactile depth.
The contrasting colors along the edges provide a sense of grounding, emphasizing the central brightness. Unlike the contemplative calm of White Veil Mystery, Ochre Energy feels alive with movement and power, channeling an earth-bound energy that resonates with life’s primal forces. Thompson’s meditative process transforms this canvas into a celebration of color and form, a visual symphony that encourages the viewer to feel the warmth and vigor emanating from its center. The painting becomes a reflection of nature's boundless energy, contained yet radiating outward.
