'Yuki' lounging in Jason's garden. Many of Jason Monet's portraits occur in this very garden and in the same hammock. Yuki looks very satisfied with herself. She has a look of confidence as if she knows a secret that she isn't telling. Beautiful light, and shade give way to hammock and garden colors dancing across Yuki's skin.
This garden is in Ubud, Bali and that is in a rain forest which gives even this small, well kept garden a nearly jungle feel with the diverse types of grass and leaves.
I like the juxtaposition of colors with the bright red and turquoise of her nails and pillow in the foreground with the strong purple lines of the hammock, while the multitude of different greens, blues, yellows and oranges decorate the background foliage. Also in front is the pearl white of her bracelet, eyes, necklace and blouse.
