Like this image? I can make something like this for you.

Subject

Palms in silhouette against a burning amber ground, seen from below so the trunks rise the full height and the crowns are cropped by the top edge.

Composition

The crowns cluster along the upper quarter and the trunks fan outward below them. There is no ground, no horizon and no architecture — the picture is trees and field, nothing else.

Palette

Amber, ochre and burnt orange throughout, brightest at the centre and deepening toward the edges. The palms are near-black with a green cast where they thin.

Handling

The ground is layered and worked wet, with circular pooling and spatter left as part of the surface. The trunks are single long drawn strokes and the fronds are struck out quickly from each crown.

Medium and support

Oil, photographed as a page of a portfolio book rather than as the object itself.

Signature

No signature visible within the painted area.
