The central element of this piece is a thick, sinuous squiggle rendered in rich, dark green hues, dominating the canvas with a dynamic presence. Forrest green, hunter green and pine green on light cream paper. The abstract line appears to writhe and twist across the canvas, creating an intriguing interplay of line, unique like a signature. Its organic, serpentine form suggests a sense of movement and vitality. The dark green color palette exudes a sense of depth similar to the many shades of green in a dense forest. The rich combination of green hues reflect the natural world, relaxing and encouraging contemplation as the line twists and tangles itself like a sturdy stem of a strong healthy plant. The drawing is initialed on the back. The paper is acid free, archival paper.
