"Quiet Promise"
Pastel on Canson Touch, 14x10
In the early morning, the calm air and quiet waves give only a promise of the sea breeze that is to come - thus the title of the paining.
In the heat of the day, the wind and surf rise along with the temperature. What I have tried to capture is the calm, quiet peacefulness of the beach before the day begins. In those few moments, the colors are clear and the values are crisp. Purple lingers in the shadows for a while before the blaze of the sun burns it away.
