Trees at Giverny, is a classic example of Butler’s summer landscapes, representing a place of transition for the artist and a divergence from Monet’s color palette. The Fauvist colors of orange and blue discreetly placed in the foreground, create shadows on the trees that offset the sunlight off the forest clearing in the center of the canvas, which make this piece breathtaking. Butler has combined the principles of Fauvism and Impressionism and created his own style.
