Old painting signed The Sunken Pond Sunset Oil painting on masonite panel

  
The painting shows a framed serene landscape. The artwork features a body of water reflecting trees and a sky filled with soft and warm colors, suggesting a late afternoon or early evening setting. The frame is ornate, adding to the overall presentation. This composition reflects a concern for simplicity and harmony. The landscape is organized in bands, with parallel horizontals corresponding to the different elements of nature.

The earth, water, forest, and sky overlap, contrasting with the verticality of the trees. The painting loses all objectivity when the artist believes that color should play an essential role. Color has a plastic value, but above all, an emotional power. The artist becomes aware of the attraction and power of colors especially when working outdoors.

The hues that have the greatest effect on him are those he mainly observes at sunrise and sunset. The artist quickly focuses on the colors to which he is most sensitive in order to convey the feelings and moods he experiences.
