Perle Fine combines paint and collage in Early Morning Garden to create an environment that is calm but vibrant. With soft hues of black, white, gray, and splashes of warm tan, she evokes the appearance of a garden at sunrise. The painting is full of curving lines and shapes that have the appearance of leaves and vines stirring with the morning sun. Brushstrokes are heavy in some areas, thin in other areas. This combination makes the work deep and full of action. Perle wanted to present nature in another way through abstract painting, where things are not exactly real but are alive. That is what this work indicates about how she established herself in Abstract Expressionism with nature and emotion in her own way.
