High Style

This painting isolates a single palm tree against an open blue sky, turning a familiar tropical motif into a study of structure, movement, and light. Built with thick, energetic brushwork, the crown of the tree feels almost explosive, its fronds radiating outward in dense layers of green, ochre, and blue. The contrast between the textured foliage and the broad, quiet sky gives the work both tension and airiness. Rather than describing a specific place, the painting captures the presence of the palm itself—resilient, sunlit, and animated by wind.
