Resting by the Water’s Edge XXXI

The fine art series Resting by the Water’s Edge takes viewers to the tranquil shores of a lake at the end of summer, where rowing boats rest softly on the shore, their faded colors blending seamlessly into the dreamlike landscape. The distant island, framed by the delicate silhouettes of branches, adds a sense of mystery and invites contemplation.

The collection’s moody, contemplative tones encourage viewers to pause and reflect on the beauty of stillness. The quiet presence of the boats, the soft play of light and shadow, and the gentle motion of the water all create a peaceful, introspective mood. As the poet Walt Whitman once wrote, “I believe a leaf of grass is no less than the journey-work of the stars.” Resting by the Water’s Edge reminds us of the quiet wonder found in nature’s simplest moments, offering a space for reflection and peace.
