Dunes of the GoldenHour.

Manifesto / Description

This striking pastel landscape captures the rhythmic beauty of a vast desert at sunset. The composition is dominated by undulating sand dunes, where the artist uses soft blending to transition from deep, shadowy purples on the leeward slopes to brilliant, sun-drenched oranges and golds on the crests. The distant horizon meets a hazy sky that shifts from a warm, glowing yellow at the sun's resting point to a deep indigo above. Fine hatched lines are visible in the foreground dunes, suggesting the wind-rippled texture of the sand. The work emphasizes the silence and immense scale of the desert, focusing on the interplay of light and shadow to create a sense of tranquil, timeless majesty.
