Thick palette-knife impasto builds a single broad leaf into sculpted relief, its surface ridged with frost and dew. Cool slate blues and silver-whites dominate, broken by a warm amber slick of autumn colour that catches the side light. Long shadows rake across the loaded strokes, giving the painting a tactile, almost carved presence that shifts as you move past it.
