Verdant Disguise
In this tiny jewel-box of a piece, lime green, chartreuse, yellow-green, and deep forest tones dominate a heavily textured surface punctuated by orange, turquoise, purple, and gold. Somewhere within this verdant chaos, a chameleon hides—perfectly camouflaged as its nature demands, visible only to careful observation or perhaps never fully visible at all. The small format makes this piece feel precious, intimate, demanding close viewing. Layers of translucent green glazes over heavy impasto create dimensional depth suggesting jungle foliage, underwater grottos, or the cellular structure of leaves themselves. The chameleon (if you can find it) might be rendered photographically, suggested through paint marks that coalesce into recognizable form, or truly hidden as nothing more than texture that the mind interprets as creature. This is art about looking, about what reveals itself only to patient attention.

The chameleon represents adaptation, camouflage, survival through invisibility, and the ability to change form to match environment. It also symbolizes the hidden creatures watching from nature, the way wildness persists unseen even in human spaces, or the aspect of self that hides in plain sight. The green palette evokes nature, growth, healing, envy, or the color of things growing in shadow. The miniature scale suggests the way important things are often small and easily overlooked, or how magical realism operates at intimate scale.Interpretation
This playful yet sophisticated piece explores themes of visibility, camouflage, and the relationship between figure and ground. The chameleon hiding within green abstraction becomes metaphor for anyone who survives by blending, for the way we camouflage our true selves to navigate dangerous environments, or for the hidden wildness that persists beneath civilized surfaces. The piece also celebrates careful observation—not everything reveals itself immediately; some beauty requires patience and attention. The small scale makes it feel like a secret shared between artist and viewer.Poetry
Green within green, it learned the difference between hiding and becoming.
