Blue Water Rising

Blue Water Rising shows a possible distant shoreline reflected on calm water. The lower half is a broad area of muted blue, with vertical strokes of deep blue and bronze at the waters upper edge. The sky is soft and cloudy, with pale whites and blues adding depth.
Made with oil and cold wax, the painting has a mix of smooth and textured areas. The colors create a calm, quiet feeling, like when the landscape rests by the water at dawn. We are invited to pause and take in the moment.
