The gentle earthy tones of this piece welcome one to sit awhile, take shelter, cushioned by the grasses and supported by the tree trunks, and soak in the warmth.

The scrappy underbrush is haven for all kinds of unseen creatures from tiny bugs to lizards and little birds. As a ground dwelling mammal, it feels like home to me too. In this landscape interior I found an interesting take on a classic blue-orange complementary palette, and interesting contradictions of softness and brittleness, young growth and timelessness, stark heat and cooling shadow.
