Summer

A woman sits perched on a wide windowsill, one leg drawn up and the other dangling, wearing a sleeveless maroon top and a long red-and-black patchwork skirt. Her bare foot hangs over the ledge while three apples rest on the sill beside her; behind her a sunlit garden of dense green foliage fills the window. She rests one arm on the frame, gazing out with a calm expression.

Warm interior shadow contrasts with the brightly lit greenery beyond, painted in loose, broken strokes that thicken into dabs of light on the leaves. The skirt's pattern builds from overlapping glazes of red, black and ochre, while skin and face are handled more smoothly. The mood is relaxed and sun-warmed, a quiet pause in midday light.
