A forest edge dissolves into reflection and reed in this deftly handled landscape study.
A dense stand of bare trees rises against a crisp sky, their earthy rust tones scraped and layered with an expressive, almost violent, impasto. Below, ochre grasses float over a flooded foreground rendered in cool greys and steel blues, the low, golden light of autumn conveyed through decisive palette knife textures. The brushwork is both brisk and deliberate, capturing a landscape filled with quiet movement and the sharp air of the changing season.
