The blue and green hues of the distant mountains gradually fade into the sky, capturing the transition of light as dawn turns to midday. The reddish-brown tones in the foreground suggest the warmth of the land as it contrasts with the coolness of the mountains in the distance. Mazeilie’s impressionistic brushwork creates a soft and atmospheric feel, with subtle details that evoke the serenity of nature. The layering of colours and light reflections throughout the landscape reflect the artist’s ability to portray the quiet beauty of the natural world.
