"Morning at Neshotah Beach" is a captivating piece that encapsulates the serene beauty of a coastal seascape. Measuring 9x8.5 inches, this artwork is created with colored pencils on blue paper, adding a unique depth and vibrancy to the scene. The composition features a wide expanse of the ocean beneath a clear, bright blue sky. Gentle waves roll with a delicate motion towards a sandy shore, each wave meticulously depicted in various shades of blue and green. The white frothy crests on the waves add a realistic sense of movement to the tranquil setting.
The shoreline curves gracefully, providing a natural frame for the interaction between land and sea. Above, the sky is adorned with soft, wispy clouds, enhancing the peaceful ambiance of the coastal environment. One intriguing detail in this piece is the subtle depiction of a riptide, which adds an element of intrigue for those who look closely. Additionally, the high tide line suggests that a full moon graced the sky the previous night, contributing to the rich narrative within the scene.
The inspiration behind this artwork comes from an early morning visit to Lake Michigan at Neshotah Beach in Two Rivers, Wisconsin, lending authenticity and personal touch to the serene landscape. The careful selection of colors and textures emphasizes the natural beauty and calmness of the coastal surroundings, inviting viewers to lose themselves in the tranquil vista.
