Peace at Mid-Day |
Pastel on self-sanded board: 11x15
At midday in the heat of summer, the morning breeze dies away before the sea breeze picks up, and a sense of peace and stillness settles over the salt marsh. Even the ceaseless tide seems to stop. The clouds begin to gather, and the sun is partially hidden as a hazy light invades the deep shadows under the trees. A softness settles on the grasses turning their greens into gold and yellow as a hint of the autumn soon to come.
This is a rework of an old painting. I touched it up to give it new life.
