A bird's eye view of houses and barns in a rural community.The trees play an important roll in the composition. The flattening of the picture plane reduces the details to strong circular and linear graphic shapes. The shadows suggest the time of day and add perspective. The juxtaposition of this strong and light green and red color palette with graphic but soft-edged shapes conveys a feeling of place and individuality.

Each painting in this series by Toni Silber-Delerive stands on its own, or they make a wonderful set of companion pieces. Canvas reproductions of these paintings are available as a gallery wrap, or in a black wood frame. Prints available in both rectangular and square aspects, sizes listed at right.
