Resting by the Water’s Edge XXXVI

"Resting by the Water’s Edge" offers a fine art series that captures the serene beauty of a lake at summer’s end. The rowing boats rest peacefully on the shore, their faded colors and soft, painterly aesthetic inviting viewers into a world of calm and contemplation. The distant island, barely visible through the mist, adds a touch of mystery, while the silhouettes of branches frame the stillness of the scene.

The collection’s moody tones and quiet atmosphere evoke a sense of timelessness, where the viewer is encouraged to stop and reflect on the simplicity of nature’s beauty. The color and black-and-white photos create a peaceful, introspective mood, offering a space for calm and reflection. As poet Sylvia Plath once wrote, “I felt my lungs inflate with the onrush of scenery—air, mountains, trees, people. I thought, ‘This is what it is to be happy.’” Resting by the Water’s Edge offers a similar onrush of peace and quiet joy, a moment of connection with nature’s gentle presence.
