The foreground is expansive, built from fields of orange and yellow that move like heat across the surface. These areas are not fixed—they shift, overlap, and soften at the edges. The fence line suggests direction, but it never fully anchors the space. Instead, it pulls the eye toward the treeline, where darker marks interrupt the brightness and begin to define a boundary.

Above it all, the sky presses down in deep blues and violets, layered with subtle transitions that suggest movement rather than stillness. The trees sit within this tension—neither fully grounded nor entirely abstract. They hold the horizon just enough to keep the painting intact, while everything around them continues to loosen and expand.
