Serenity

This striking black and white landscape captures a serene lakeside scene, highlighting the delicate balance between nature's elegance and a touch of melancholy. The foreground features a gnarled tree branch reaching out over the calm water, its intricate shapes contrasted beautifully against the smooth surface of the lake. Soft, ghostly grasses in the foreground sway gently, creating a sense of movement amidst the stillness of the water and the muted sky. The clouds, painted in subtle shades of gray, add depth to the atmosphere, evoking tranquility and reflection. This piece, with its ethereal quality, invites viewers to pause and contemplate, making it ideal for spaces designed for relaxation, such as living rooms, studies, or meditation areas. Its monochromatic palette easily complements a variety of interior styles, from minimalist to rustic, allowing it to enhance any environment it inhabits.
Consider placing this painting in a living room or study to create a calming focal point. It could also work wonderfully in a hallway or entryway, adding a touch of elegance and tranquility to the space. Its monochromatic scheme allows it to seamlessly blend into various interior designs while offering a moment of peace amidst the hustle of daily life.

I think that every artist has an art piece with the name "Serenity" in their portfolio and I'm no different! Architecture and city life is more my style but sometimes I like to try my luck at landscape photography. I'm from the Ottawa region and I enjoy walking along the Ottawa river, I captured this scene back in 2014. The clouds and the lack of wind made a perfect combination for this long exposure.
