# Burle Marx Landscape carries the structure. Naturalistic Planting appear as accents, each further back than the last.
# Style descriptors only. Never imitates a specific artist, studio, brand or work.

An original image that takes its structure from Burle Marx Landscape (Style, 1930s–1994) and its accent from Naturalistic Planting (Style, 1990s–). Structural cues: Planting as color fields; Organic curves in plan; The tropical palette; Paving as graphic. Accent cues, used sparingly: Perennial and grass communities; The beauty of dieback; Drifts of planting; Ecology as the model. Composition: Curves divide the plane, straight lines kept to paving edges. Type and lettering: One species per large block, planes told apart by leaf and color. Let one material quality come from the second style: A single cut in spring, seed heads and stems left standing. Mood: Exhilaration, Play, Futurism, Calm, Intimacy. Color: build on #e9e6dd, #67635d, #171615 with a single accent drawn from #e9e6dd, #67635d, #171615. Constraints: do not imitate, reference or name any specific artist, studio, brand, character or copyrighted work. Produce an original composition in the general period languages described above.

# Where the two fight
# - Both belong to Garden Styles, so the difference is small. Push the roles further apart than feels comfortable.

# Cautions carried from each entry
# - Burle Marx Landscape: Drawing the curves as decoration while ignoring growth rates lets the blocks break down within years and the color edges go muddy.
# - Naturalistic Planting: Copying the look by adding species lets the strongest grasses smother the rest by the second year, and the drift turns into weeds.
