Detail from Annecy

A tree leans close with stories kept,
Its bark aglow where sunlight crept.
Beyond, the stairs rise soft and high—
A distant echo, a bather’s sigh.

This watercolor captures a tranquil garden scene in Annecy with a rich foreground tree anchoring the composition. The technique employs transparent washes layered with textured brushwork to create depth and vibrant contrast. The interplay of warm and cool tones highlights architectural elements subtly nested in foliage. The work blends landscape and narrative, suggesting quiet human presence through its spatial arrangement.
