01.16.26 San Agustín Etla — Vista Hermosa, Mexico

This drawing reflects a quiet view in San Agustín Etla, where a shallow reflecting pool anchors the foreground and bare trees line its edges. The water mirrors the surrounding forms, creating a gentle symmetry that slows the movement of the scene and draws attention to subtle shifts of tone and light.Loose line work defines the trees and distant hills, while layered gray washes unify water, ground, and sky into a cohesive, atmospheric whole. The composition feels balanced and deliberate, with the pool acting as both boundary and invitation—holding space rather than directing it.Developed as part of my ongoing Morning Practice series, this original drawing explores stillness, reflection, and the quiet presence of designed landscapes within a broader natural setting.
