Cul de Sac

2017

This nocturnal landscape presents a surreal garden scene dominated by a large yellow form in the foreground, its surface cast in shadow. Surrounding it are stylized trees rendered in jewel tones of magenta, orange, blue, and emerald green, their foliage depicted with intricate linear detail against a deep blue starlit sky. Vertical cypress like forms frame the composition on either side, while the interplay of luminous colors and careful brushwork creates a dreamlike atmosphere that merges botanical observation with imaginative expression.
