Artist Comments
With low tide, the sand stretches out towards the receding waterline, revealing a shallow pool of water reflecting the sky. A solitary cloud watches over the sea and adds a touch of drama to the scene. The artwork evokes a tranquil atmosphere.

About the Artist
Artist George Peebles paints atmospheric displays of panoramic landscapes and integrates whimsical abstractions as compelling spectacles. Breathtaking combinations of brilliant hues and rich gradients map out his introspective compositions. “My art is a reflection of the place inside each of us where we connect to nature,” says George. He paints each stroke with an inward expression of his emotions, painting from memory. George finished his BA at Kendall College of Art Design but remains to see his practice as a lifetime learning process. Born with red/green colorblindness, he expresses his unique perception through avant-garde approaches. His new concepts and ideas come alive at his home studio in Michigan as he draws inspiration from electric moments within his environment. Outside the studio, he works as a chef at a local hospital, where he gets to share his art and illuminate everyone's day.
