Observations

The style combines richly textured, visible brushwork with densely populated botanical and animal imagery, using earthy greens, reds, creams, and dark blues. Ornamental natural forms, theatrical figures, and fantastical woodland tableaux are rendered with fine detail and expressive, flowing strokes.
