A glowing façade behind dark trees

The Blind House sets a warm orange building within a largely dark garden. Trunks interrupt the lit wall, while a narrow foreground path leads towards it. The small area of illumination makes the surrounding space feel unusually deep, with much of the building and vegetation left unresolved in shadow.

Repeated trunks beneath the moon

Night in the Parc Royal, Brussels looks along quiet paths between tall trees under a small pale moon. Cool blue tones connect the sky, ground and shaded branches. The repeated verticals create a measured route through the park, while a few bright points stand apart from the otherwise continuous nocturnal colour.

Pale rocks beside clear blue water

Balearic Coast, Mallorca, Cala San Vicente places angular stone and a group of pines above the sea, with a warmer rocky headland beyond. The open sky and bright water contrast strongly with the night scenes. Fine repeated marks across the rocks give the foreground a more intricate texture than the broad distant surfaces.
