Two Trees and a Green Hill

2026

This large scale oil painting presents two dark, vertically oriented tree forms flanking a luminous central composition of pale cream and soft gray tones. The central area suggests a landscape or figurative form rendered through gestural, expressive brushwork, with teal and green accents woven throughout the canvas. Paul's characteristic fluid technique creates a sense of movement and atmospheric immediacy, layering transparent and opaque passages to evoke both natural observation and abstract formal inquiry. The work exemplifies her ongoing dialogue between representation and abstraction, wherein landscape and figuration dissolve into painterly mark making. Executed at monumental scale, this canvas demonstrates Paul's sustained engagement with oil painting as a medium of direct sensory and emotional expression.
