Scherer employs a palette dominated by greens, blues, purples, and oranges, capturing the lushness of the terrain and the dynamic contrasts of the landscape. The irregular, almost tumultuous brushstrokes convey movement, breathing life and vibrancy into the valley, the rolling hills, and the distant mountains.Scherer’s adept use of abstract forms and colors does more than depict a mere location— it evokes feelings and moods.
