About This Work

A road curves into Leonidio, drawing the eye past terracotta rooftops to cliffs lit by the last of the sun.

The eye follows the road from foreground toward terracotta rooftops nestled at the middle distance, then up to the cliffs that rise behind Leonidio. Deep orange and soft pink fill the sky while lavender and slate blue settle into the hills. Ochre and weathered gray hold the road and buildings, with muted greens tucked into shadow. The brushwork shifts as you move deeper: smoother, blended passages carry the sky, while drier touches give the masonry and dusty road their grain. Light comes long and low from the right, glancing off windows and edges before dissolving into soft gradients. The hour feels unhurried, as if the day itself has slowed down.
