Under the watching trees 17

The painting measures 62cm by 43cm framed in a bespoke white floating frame measuring 64.5cm  by 45.5cm
 
It  evokes the mysterious hush of a twilight forest, where light and shadow entwine.
The artwork is divided into two distinct zones:
At the top, a rich, velvety black suggests the canopy of a dense woodland at nightfall — a space both enclosing and secretive.
Descending from this darkness are elongated, copper leaf forms — slender, shimmering trunks  — hanging like silent sentinels. These copper elements catch the light, lending the painting an otherworldly gleam, as if the trees themselves are conscious observers, alive with quiet power.
Below, cascading shades of indigo, cerulean, and turquoise flow like mist through the undergrowth.  The organic, fluid movement of the blues contrasts with the rigid descent of the copper trees above — earth meeting water, metal meeting emotion.
There’s an elemental tension here — fire in the copper, water in the ink, darkness in the sky — suggesting that beneath these "watching trees," something timeless is unfolding.
 
There is a three week lead time for the frame.
