| After the Rain by Carrie Paquette A moment of calm after the storm, captures the resilience of nature and the quiet strength found in renewal. Bold poppies bloom under a clearing sky, symbolizing hope, memory, and the beauty that often follows hardship. |
Mysterious Muskoka Moonlight by Carolyn Boyd This peaceful nighttime scene captures the essence of tranquility on a lake in Muskoka, Ontario. The composition is anchored by the full moon, which acts as a focal point, drawing the viewer's gaze across the reflected light on the water's surface. The moonlight bounces off the water's surface, creating a shimmering path of light. The deep blue palette for the sky creates a serene, calming atmosphere, in harmony with the stillness of the lake. The slender, windswept trees frame the view. These silhouetted trees lean softly, adding depth and subtly suggesting the presence of a gentle breeze. The horizon is marked with a dark, wooded shoreline, while the sky transitions from deep indigo to lighter shades of blue creating a calming atmosphere. |

| Golden Hour Dance by Carolyn Boyd This piece blends warm vibrant hues of orange and yellow to portray an enticing evening sky. As the sun casts its golden glow, the tall grasses and cattails sway and dance in the breeze. As your eyes travel to the lower portion of the painting, you'll be welcomed by a mix of dark and fiery colours depicting the ground and water. Be calmed by the sun’s warmth reflecting in the peaceful water. The painting's colour palette works in harmony to evoke a soothing sense of tranquillity and remind us of the simplistic beauty of nature. Let this painting whisk you away into a serene natural scene. The golden hour has arrived. I’m always moved by the gorgeous Muskoka sunsets! |
Serenity on the Bay by Jayne Hill This painting depicts a serene early morning on Kempenfelt Bay. A colourful sunrise along with the gentle movement of the water, gives promise to a beautiful day ahead. |

| Water Lily Tranquility Gracefully emerging from the still waters of a tranquil pond, the soft pink petals of the foreground blossom glow against the deep green background, while floating lily pads and unopened buds suggest quiet promise and renewal, drawing the viewer into a meditative moment, a sense of peace and calm. |
