Description
-
An image of plants reduced to simplified shapes and outlines painted in an abstract, expressive style, with broad strokes of green and yellow paint applied over certain areas of the composition using the dry brush technique. Bold, calligraphic brushstrokes and paint splatters are composed near the centre of the image, while columns and clusters of abstract, pseudo-calligraphic scribbles are superimposed over the rest of the image.
