Reflection

"Reflection" is a serene and contemplative watercolor painting by Sylvia Hamilton Goulden, measuring 18 inches by 24 inches. This artwork captures the subtle interplay of light and color across a tranquil landscape, possibly depicting a sunset or sunrise mirrored in still waters.

The painting employs a soft, fluid approach typical of watercolor, using washes of orange, yellow, and hints of red to create a vibrant, yet ephemeral sky. The dark silhouette of the landscape anchors the composition, adding depth and contrast to the ethereal sky. The reflective quality of the water is suggested through the delicate blending of colors, creating a sense of calm and balance.

Goulden’s technique effectively conveys the peacefulness of a quiet moment in nature, inviting viewers to pause and reflect on the beauty of the natural world. The use of watercolor enhances the luminosity and gradation of hues, making "Reflection" a visually soothing piece.
