Two landforms belonging to different worlds, stacked cleanly on one hard horizontal line straight across the middle of the frame: a terracotta cliff face above, deep green still water below, each plane lit on its own terms with the mismatch left completely unresolved. one small boat with nobody in it on the lower plane, well off centre and small. two flat planes of unrelated colour meeting on a hard horizontal line, a saturated one above and a dark one below, both planes deeply coloured and saturated and neither of them bright. The upper plane dense and detailed, the lower flat and empty. Two flat planes with a hard join between them, the depth deliberately flattened. Matter-of- fact about something impossible. full rich colour across the whole frame with every surface carrying its own real hue, but nothing pushed to maximum intensity and nothing neon or electric, colour deep and true rather than bright, highlights clean and small with no blown-out white areas, deep shadow present
