A softer, more atmospheric vision of Prospect Park in late autumn, this Fall 2025 pastel on sandpaper by Jesse Alexander captures the quiet openness of the park as the season begins to settle.
A wide expanse of green stretches across the foreground, subtly layered with hints of yellow light, while a low horizon of trees—dark, loose, and gently blurred—anchors the composition. Above, the sky shifts into warm, muted tones of peach and gray, evoking the calm of early evening. The use of sandpaper gives the surface a distinctive grain, allowing the pastel to sit richly on top, creating a velvety texture that enhances both depth and softness.
More restrained than a fleeting burst of color, this work leans into stillness and space—an understated moment where light lingers and time slows. Framed in natural wood, it offers a serene, contemplative presence, bringing a sense of quiet landscape into the home.
