“Songs of Summer, Galatians 5:22”

I strived to capture a fleeting moment of a secluded woodland pond at sunset in this oil painting. Using the golden hues, I attempted to emphasize the serene surface of the pond and the mirrored surrounding trees to create a visual symphony.
The dense woodland surrounding the pond acts as a sanctuary, inviting viewers into a tranquil retreat. Layers of detailed trees create depth, while subtle shifts in color and texture suggest gentle air movement, enhancing the painting's serene atmosphere. More than a landscape, this work meditates on spiritual qualities, using light, shadow, color, and stillness to evoke inner peace and joy. It is my hope that viewers will find a moment of quiet reflection, experiencing the uplifting presence of God.
