Deep South Painting

Inspired by a lovely bright orange sunset filling the landscape with strong color. My love of color and rowboats came together in an emotional expression as I created this work. I wanted to capture the landscape in all it's vivid deep orange shade so I limited my pallet to strong contrasting colors that play off the deep orange shade cast by the setting sun as it washed over the landscape of this southern marshland with the Spanish moss hanging from the trees above the water. I want the viewer to feel the hug from the deep rich orange in this quiet timeless setting.
