After The Storm

After The Storm, Oil Painting by Melody Phaneuf
~

I love the angle of the sun on February snow. Crisp blue shadows and glistening light at this time of year create stimulating patterns that dance their way through the landscape. All is melting and moving, transitioning toward equinox.

Visually, the white blanket does much to unify the landscape, hiding discordant tones and textures. The reflective surface of snow catches the sunlight and stretches the warm/cool relationship of colors. It heightens the value key to high major and makes our hearts sing.

After The Storm pictures a charming moment in Gloucester, when roadway reveals the land’s meandering companionship to the sea. Hills, houses, light and shadow combine to display a sparkling pattern that brings delight. A dog walker emerges and adds a touch of animation. After The Storm is a glimpse of winter’s fleeting enchantment.

Transitions~ End of Day, Gloucester

End of Day, Gloucester by Boston Artist, Melody Phaneuf

Transition. September light bridges clear, blue summer with autumn’s orange glow. It is a tranquil time in Gloucester; the tides seem at rest. But all is poised for movement; equilibrium nears the tipping point.

Moments in balance seem to arrest time and penetrate memory. My spirit soars, rejoining golden light, recalling Eternity. Below the houses are silent, watchful, rooted. I witness the ocean’s depth and desire becomes my passage home. It is here that I dwell, capturing beauty in paint, and go forth with time.

End of Day, Gloucester by Boston Artist, Melody Phaneuf is a 20 x 16 oil painting in private collection~
