A horizontal composition depicting a dramatic coastal moment where dark waters meet a luminous sky. The work employs layered washes of indigo, charcoal, and burnt orange, with soft edges where pigments bleed and merge. A pale sun sits low on the horizon, punctuated by a striking horizontal line that divides water from sky. Silhouetted grasses anchor the foreground in shadow. Paxton’s characteristic technique of wet-on-wet application creates an atmospheric abstraction rooted in observation of natural light.
