On this composition

A painting, before the light.

A Haussmann street corner in the warm light of late afternoon. Cream and honey-gold buildings rise on both sides, their mansard roofs in deep brown; the ground-floor café spreads a red and cream striped awning over a row of small tables. Down the open street the Eiffel Tower stands in soft grey-violet haze, and a couple walk the wet pavement toward it. A plum-magenta blossom tree breaks the right edge. Sandhya Kaushik works the façades in thick palette-knife planes of cream and ochre, then drags the road in long horizontal strokes of warm grey-brown that catch the reflected sky.

The light is unhurried and golden, more strolling than busy. It carries a living-room wall, a dining room, or a hallway where the long view down the street can open the space.
