Dark Trees
1973

A serene artwork depicting a nighttime scene with several slender trees in the foreground and a small, illuminated tent nestled among them. The background features a dark, dense grove of trees under a starless sky, creating a sense of quiet isolation. The image is rendered in a monochromatic palette, with the light from the tent providing a warm contrast to the cool tones of the surrounding environment.
