Afternoon 3

This painting suspends a stand of trees in a tremulous haze, where stippled strokes of saffron and ember flicker across a cool, misted ground like memory breaking through silence. The composition is built on a quiet tension between the anchoring, dark trunks and the dissolving atmosphere, as if solidity is continually being re-negotiated by light. Rather than describing a place, it evokes a season’s inward turning—an intimate meditation on transience, in which falling leaves become the visible measure of time’s gentle insistence.
