The mood this painting suggests is a hot desert day.
The focal point of the painting is a quite village street at the foothill of the mountain, the village houses are shimmering red buildings each side of a narrow village street, above is a clear blue sky, with a view of the mountains in the distance, a farmer is passing through with a goat, in the foreground an Arabic woman is sitting in a doorway with a sack of oranges. There's a play of light that shines across from the side street on the left onto a woman and reflecting on the opposite building. Above the red coloured Moroccan houses there are lush green trees protruding above. The work is a striking piece, the colour range chosen by the artist is characteristic to the traditional red Moroccan style buildings with vivid rich colours. The style of the painting is Orientalist by knife and brush technique, executed by arist r m Lawrence in 2019. The size of the painting is 12 X 16 inches, applied on canvas board panel with acrylic paints.
