12"x9" Between two trees, a scarlet swing of cloth hums with the warmth of summer ease. This intimate painting captures the inviting curve of a bright red hammock, its bold arc pulling the eye against the softer, impressionistic garden beyond. The brushstrokes are loose and sun-dappled, suggesting blooms, greenery, and the golden light of afternoon without fixing them in sharp detail. The result is a moment of quiet rest suspended in color—an ode to leisure, warmth, and the simple poetry of being held.
