Yellowstone 2

This abstract painting captures something that feels both geological and elemental, with warm rust and amber tones flowing across the canvas like mineral deposits or thermal springs. The artist layers colors in a way that suggests natural formations, perhaps inspired by the otherworldly landscapes of geothermal areas where water, earth, and heat create unexpected patterns and hues. White and cream passages cut through the orange and brown like steam or sediment, giving the whole piece an organic, unplanned quality.

Catherine de Potter works with a loose, atmospheric approach that lets the paint itself tell much of the story. Rather than depicting a literal landscape, she evokes the feeling of standing before something vast and slowly changing, where colors bloom and fade across stone and water over centuries. The textured surface and soft edges create a sense of movement and transformation, as if we're looking at a moment frozen in an ongoing process of creation and erosion.
