A single olive tree stands alone on a sunlit hillside in this richly textured palette-knife painting. Thick sculpted strokes of impasto build the branches, leaves and sloping ground into a tactile, almost three-dimensional surface. Warm greens and earthy ochres give the square composition a calm, grounded balance, with equal weight in every direction. A striking focal piece for a kitchen, hallway or reading nook.
