Slow Burn — 18 x 24 inches (before mat and frame) Acrylic and oil pastel on paper

Bring warmth and unexpected harmony into your space with Slow Burn. This layered, tactile abstract features bold color blocks — red, blue, yellow — set against a calm white-and-gray ground. No hard edges here: pigments flow and blend into one another, creating a soft, breathing composition that invites the eye to wander.

What makes this piece sing is the pink. It’s the deal maker — surprising, perfectly chosen — a small but vital bridge that pulls the palette together and lifts the whole work. A hint of dark brown anchors the composition while energetic graphite gestures add a rugged, human touch. Multiple layers of paint and pastel build real textural interest; the surface has a lived-in quality that rewards close looking.

Slow Burn carries an unintentionally western vibe — rugged and sun-warmed — even with that playful pink at its heart. It’s a versatile original that works equally well over a mantel, in a sunroom, or as a statement in a modern living room. Affordable, joyful, and full of character — a Rebecca Dodson original that brings color, texture, and a little surprise into your home.
