A Lesson in Leavin

Dottie West
1980
An auburn-haired woman stands at an open doorway, holding a travel bag against a radiant countryside sunset. Warm amber light illuminates her thoughtful expression, contrasting with the shadowed room, wilted roses, and vintage furnishings. Rich oil painting textures, winding roads, and an ornate floral wooden frame evoke bittersweet independence.
