About This Work

A pale path cuts through a Paris park, 1961, tree canopies arching overhead, the city kept just beyond.

A deep quiet holds this place. You can feel the city just at the edges—in those soft shapes of iron and stone. But here, the world is all gentle greens in the leaves, answered by the warm earth of the path below. See how the paint is looser in the foliage? It lets the light breathe through the branches. The light itself is soft, dappled where it falls through the trees. And the people are just quiet shapes moving through, anchoring the whole scene. A held quiet rests over the park, the kind that comes when the city finally steps back.
