Joy in the Morning

Pastel, 9x12 on UArt

The marsh in late summer is a blaze of green especially in the morning after rain.  The whole vista is an exuberant celebration of joy and wonder.
To express this view and make it believable requires the use of judicious touches of purple and orange.  I also added a few strokes of red/brown which makes the green-on-green marsh grass come alive.
