"Harmony"

"Harmony" was painted to reflect a complete and total joy of being at one with the natural world surrounding you. This is I hope the first of many in the Tranquil Earth series of paintings. Adrift on a background of purples and blues, with the barest hints of green, a silent woman in a dress the color of a sunset lets go and allows herself to be utterly embraced by the beauty and tranquility of nature.
