Radiance

Radiance

Pastel on UArt 12x18

I have always been intrigued by the colors and contrasts of the beach in the early morning. After the sun has come up it can often become partially shielded by the passing clouds.  As the sun peeks around the clouds, the colors come alive. The shadows in the dunes and among the grass and shrubs of the beach take on a glow of blue and lavender, and the diffused light of the sun casts a glorious radiance over the sky, the water, and the sand that lifts my thoughts and praises to the Lord my Creator.

I reworked this painting to "fix" some weaknesses in composition and soften some edges.
