Steps Beneath the Canopy

A loose, atmospheric watercolor follows a descending stairway through a leafy urban passage, where small walking figures lend scale and quiet movement. Dark tree trunks frame the composition on both sides, opening toward pale architecture and distant light at the center. Broad translucent washes, scraped highlights, and scattered pigment marks give the scene a weathered, immediate presence, balancing recognizable place with near-abstraction.
