The artist plays with light and shadow as sunlight peers through the branches and leaves in this painting. The bright watercolors come alive across the canvas as light brush strokes act as the reflection of sunbeams grazing over the meadow below. Light cascades over the branch that hangs heavy with leaves at the center of the painting while a blinding reflection of light in the background builds the emphasis around the single branch. Below the trees, the sunlight spreads across the grassy ground, illuminating the sea of golden flowers that blanket the ground. The golden ocean is almost fiery as it reflects the sunshine from above, creating a halo of joy around the painting as warmth echoes through the otherwise quiet forest.
