Painted alla prima in Prospect Park, Brooklyn, this work begins with a scrub of dry grass and a sunlit bush, while distant trees recede into the clarity of a cloudless summer afternoon. Surrounded by countless possibilities—sparkling lawns, shaded paths, monumental stands of trees—I chose instead a quieter subject. This solitary bush and its lone tree companion, modest yet distinct, embody the overlooked moments that often carry the greatest intimacy.
