This is an original Mixed Media artwork created by Marlene Kallstrom-Barritt.
A delicate watercolor landscape, evoking a serene and contemplative mood. The foreground features rocky terrain rendered with fluid, dark brushstrokes, contrasting with the softness of the mid-ground grassy area. Here, patches of green blend seamlessly with lighter tones, suggesting a sunlit meadow just before dusk or dawn.
Dominating the scene are two tall evergreen trees standing prominently in the center. Their detailed, textured branches with needle-like leaves demonstrate careful attention, and their dark hues anchor the composition. Smaller conifers recede into the background, creating a sense of depth and natural layering within the forested area.
The sky above glows with warm tones of peach and soft blue, possibly indicating an early morning or late afternoon sunset. Wispy clouds stretch across the horizon, their gentle hues blending mesmerizingly with the sky.
Symbolically, the evergreens can represent resilience and endurance, standing tall through seasons, while the transition of colors in the sky might symbolize change or passage of time. The overall watercolored effect lends the impression of a quiet, fleeting moment, capturing the ephemeral beauty of nature in a subtle, almost dreamlike way.
