"Breathing Silence" is a captivating Maine landscape painting that offers a serene glimpse into nature's tranquil embrace. Measuring 9”x12” and rendered in oil, this artwork transports viewers to a peaceful scene where time seems to stand still. In the foreground, lush green brush invites you to step closer and lose yourself in the vibrant beauty of nature. A body of water mirrors the sky's hues, adding depth and serenity to the overall composition.
As your eyes travel further into the painting, a marshy area comes into view, dotted with golden yellow vegetation that hints the scene is set in the late afternoon. This midground detail serves as a tranquil transition to the dense line of trees that stretches horizontally across the canvas. Beyond the trees, a distant view of Big Spencer mountain emerges, enveloped in a cloudy sky that tells the story of a passing summer shower.
The play of light and shadow is masterfully executed, creating a peaceful and tranquil atmosphere that resonates with the viewer. The soft glow from the setting sun casts a warm and misty hue across the sky, evoking a sense of calm and renewal. "Breathing Silence" is more than just a landscape painting; it's an invitation to pause, breathe, and find solace in the quiet beauty of nature after the rain.
