Oil on canvas

A serene and atmospheric landscape composition that captures the quiet majesty of a misty wetland at sunrise, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1982.

The painting reveals a golden field of cattails as three ducks soar just above the water’s surface, their wings frozen in mid-flight. A band of trees stretches across the horizon, their dark green silhouettes softened by the morning haze and a luminous sky tinged with yellow and grey.

The artist’s naturalistic style is defined by soft, layered brushwork and a harmonious palette of orange, mossy greens, and muted sky blues. The composition balances movement and stillness – the dynamism of the birds in flight contrasts with the hushed stillness of the surrounding reeds and trees. the delicate treatment of light and mist adds atmosphere and depth, drawing the viewer into a fleeting, peaceful moment in nature.

This oil on canvas is housed in a very well suited wood frame. Both painting and frame are in good vintage condition.
