SPRING (planted trees 2) is an attempt at fauvism. I consider it as audacious, cheerful and spontaneous; directly influenced by PLANTED TREES.

The chromatically rich chameleon sky emanates a sense of harmony and vastness whilst stylised cast shadows steal the limelight. Multicoloured trees become one with both the foreground and background. In this way, forms and colour mingle with each other, ultimately turning into mere patterns on a flat plane.
