Orchard is a 22 x 32 inch mixed-media work of torn paper, faux wood and roofing tar on board from the artist’s ColorSchemes series. Through a network of interwoven lines, layered textures, and organic forms, the composition evokes the rhythm and structure of an apple orchard without relying on literal representation. Dark passages of roofing tar provide a grounding presence, while fragments of torn and faux wood suggest foliage, branches, fruit, and shifting light. The contrast between rough industrial material and delicate paper surfaces creates a dynamic tension between nature and human intervention. Balancing abstraction with landscape imagery, Orchard captures the ordered beauty, seasonal abundance, and quiet vitality of a cultivated grove, inviting viewers to discover the landscape gradually through color, texture, and form.
