Sassafras 

Jeff Jamison created this painting titled "Sassafras," and in it, we see an urban scene rendered through loose brushstrokes and a muted color palette. The composition is bisected by the strong vertical reflection of the figure at its center, a woman walking towards us beneath a large red umbrella. This reflection repeats and abstracts the forms above, adding depth and an element of visual play. Jamison's handling of light and shadow is particularly striking, creating a sense of atmosphere that softens the harsh geometry of the city. His color choices, primarily soft pinks, blues, and grays, enhance the dreamlike quality of the scene. The way the artist captures movement and light in the reflections destabilizes the usual static perception of urban landscapes, suggesting an alternative reality. The title, "Sassafras," hints at organic forms amidst this urban setting. The visible tree on the right is a natural element, suggesting a dialogue between nature and urban life that further complicates our understanding of space and perception in the modern world.
