Love’s brushwork dances across the canvas, creating delicate willow boughs that seem to sway in the breeze. The gentle strokes, almost resembling the patter of rain, convey a sense of calm and stillness. The landscape is stripped to its essential, minimal detail, allowing the viewer to fully immerse themselves in the beauty of the natural world. Browns and greens meld together in a simple—yet effective—image, evoking a feeling of peaceful contemplation.
