#92 – By Waters Edge

This beautiful composition highlights the contrast between the organic shapes of nature and the linear shapes of buildings. The water and sky perfectly mirror each other except for soft ripples disturbing the water’s glossy surface where a boat is floating. This background is done in a pristine layer of pure manganese blue. The houses are detailed in quinacridone red and burnt sienna, detailed with ochre brown, grey and carbon black. The subtle form of the boat is completed in titanium white. If you allow your eyes to relax on this painting, it seems as though the development on the water’s edge and its reflection are floating in space.
