Morning Calm
Susan Schaefer’s “Morning Calm” captures the essence of a serene dawn with a soft, luminous palette across a 36 by 24-inch acrylic canvas. Subtle tones of pastel pink, pale blue, and misty grey dominate the sky, conveying early morning light's quiet and cool atmosphere. Schaefer’s choice of muted, harmonious colours enhances the peacefulness of the scene, creating a sense of quiet contemplation as the first light spreads gently across the horizon.
The water below reflects the sky’s soft tones, with Schaefer’s gentle brushwork creating an almost glass-like surface. The reflections add a mirror-like quality, emphasizing the calm stillness of the morning waters. This smooth portrayal of the sea captures the clarity and quiet of dawn, reinforcing the scene’s tranquil mood.
Minimal landforms and silhouetted trees add depth to the composition. These simple, dark shapes ground the scene, contrasting with the light-filled sky and water. The understated land features create a natural frame for the peaceful expanse, inviting viewers to pause and experience the quiet beauty of a new day beginning over the water.
