From a high overlook, a dense park canopy blazes in orange, rust, and gold, broken by a few dark green cypress trees and a curving path across an open lawn. Just behind the tree line rises a row of tall pre-war brick and stone apartment towers, and paler high-rises recede into the haze beyond.

Dabbed, dotted impasto strokes build the foliage, while the architecture is handled with smoother, more controlled marks and no hard outlines. Soft, warm late-afternoon light and a gentle glow along the horizon cool and dim the buildings the farther back they sit, for a nostalgic, tranquil, romantic mood.
