This piece depicts an interesting desert landscape, painted in tones of ochre, beige, and dusty rose. The vast array of cactus of the desert is evoked through broad brushstrokes and an colourful approach, as the artist creates a sense of stillness and contemplation. The painting's energetic quality invites the viewer to contemplate the vastness of nature and our place within it. Through "Deserted," Howse showcases her unique ability to capture the essence of a landscape and evoke a powerful emotional response from the viewer.
