An oil painting of a prominent basalt structure. You can see a lake in the background peeking out. There’s an orange stroke on top of the basalt form, which really pushes the color over an edge. Some painting, strokes, overlap, and destroy the illusion of recession of planes and bring the paint back into two dimensions, exposing the conceit of verisimilitude.
