Blue Morning

In “Blue Morning” Martin Blundell captures the serene transition from night to day with masterful brush and palette knife strokes of oil on canvas. The celestial expanse in the upper two-thirds of the composition is painted in deep azure hues gradually yielding to the soft glow of dawn rising from the horizon. Golden streaks of sky peeking through the gradated cloud cover evoke peaceful sentiments of hope and renewal. Below, the landscape unfolds in natural tones of olive brown and earthy orange, with swaths of blue reflected from the atmosphere. A vibrant patch of orange in the lower center suggests a still body of water dwelling in the lower center of the tranquil scenery.

Blundell’s juxtaposition of celestial and terrestrial elements invites viewers to contemplate the unassuming yet overwhelming beauty of the natural world, and the promise of a new day. “Blue Morning” is sure to fill a worthy setting with palpable sentiments of grace and revitalization.
