Art Style: Analytical Cubism, avant-garde oil painting style reminiscent of Picasso and Braque. Subject: A dense, tangled thicket of Rhododendrons and Mountain Laurel bushes. Composition & Details: The entire natural scene is deconstructed into overlapping geometric planes, fractured shards, and intersecting angles. There are no curved lines; everything is rendered in cubes, cones, and trapezoids. The Rhododendrons: Large, showy flower trusses are broken into faceted crystalline structures of deep magenta, rose pink, and violet blocks, looking like explosions of colored quartz rather than soft petals. The Mountain Laurels: The smaller, intricate flowers are rendered as complex, repeating geometric star-patterns and angular cups in white and pale pink with distinct red polygonal markings. Foliage & Branches: The thick, leathery leaves are fragmented green triangles and parallelograms overlapping each other, creating a sense of depth without traditional perspective. The woody stems and branches are jagged, intersecting brown and grey cylinders that shatter across the frame. Color & Texture: A palette of muted earth tones—ochre, burnt umber, forest green, and slate grey—contrasted sharply with the jewel-toned facets of the flower colors. The finish should have a heavy, textured oil paint feel with visible palette knife marks and rough brushwork.
