Lanterns Over Violet Water

A vivid urban night scene centers on a sweeping arched bridge, its blue-violet masonry leading toward a lively row of red and ochre buildings. Curving streetlamps glow against a lavender sky, while broken yellow and crimson reflections animate the dark river below. A flower-filled bank anchors the foreground, giving the composition a welcoming, storybook sense of place. Broad, tactile marks and simplified architectural forms lend the painting an expressive, handcrafted character.
