"Rooftops and Shadows"

The artist creates an aerial view of structures and throws down irregular shadows to confuse the perspective and loosen an otherwise tight urban scene. The sun-drenched white roofs, the charming architectural details, the abundant greenery, the water in the far background all suggest a small, quiet, southern coastal town in the summer.

 

"Landscape in Red"

A true hymn to nature with warm earth tones and rich rusty reds. The cultivated farmland has a deliberate abstract quality. Yet it is negated by perfectly stylized farmhouses to yield a tangible reality to the tranquil pastoral scene. As often in Palmer's work, the broken lines and unusual perspective give the viewer a sense of being in different places at the same time.

 

"Coastal Farmscape"

The artist marries natural earth tones and architectural lines - almost like a vintage patchwork - to depict a rural landscape at dawn. He skews the perspective and creates a tension between vertical and horizontal lines in order to give the viewer the intriguing illusion of seeing the scene from different angles at the same time.

"Moorings"

Acharming scene depicting an array of small wooden boats nestled together at a dock. The water, the stone wall beyond and the sky above all add strong lines dividing the canvas horizontally. Waves crashing gently against the small hulls of the boats create the only movement. As if to intrigue the viewer, the red boat draws attention in contrast to an otherwise natural palette.
