Deep midnight blues collide with inky blacks in this moody abstract landscape, where thick, expressive brushstrokes create dramatic texture across the canvas. A bold diagonal sweep of periwinkle blue cuts through the darkness like dawn breaking or a memory surfacing, while touches of sage green ground the composition in the natural world. Nancy Iida's heavy application of paint—visible in every ridge and valley of the surface—gives this piece an almost sculptural quality, inviting you to trace the artist's movements with your eyes and imagine the weight of the palette knife as it carved through layers of pigment. "This is not a Dream" confronts us with raw emotion made visible, reminding us that our most powerful experiences aren't fantasies to be dismissed but truths demanding to be seen and felt.
