(c) Sundown on the water

A riverside composition where tall, feathered trees frame a calm expanse of water beneath a soft, luminous sky. A solitary figure with a boat anchors the scene at the water’s edge, rendered in muted tones. Paxton employs her characteristic wet-on-wet technique to create atmospheric veils of colour that blur and bleed across the surface, whilst a delicate horizontal line of warm light suggests the sun’s gentle reflection on water, punctuating the composition’s restrained palette.
