A single curved stroke in deep forest green descends from the upper edge of the canvas, narrowing as it bends - its weight concentrated at the top before tapering to a blunt, rounded terminus. Barnes allows the line to carry everything: no supporting field, no counterpoint, just the raw confidence of one uninterrupted pass. The colour holds a quiet authority, botanical without sentimentality.
