"Spring Morning" is a minimalist landscape painting depicting subtle shifts of color in a cloud covered sky. The clouds take on hues of blue and grey with a softness that only comes with the stillness of the scene. The calm water reflects the beautiful sky. The overall peacefulness of the scene is enhanced by the soft palette of colors. This tondo is framed in a simple wooden white frame measuring 13.5inches in diameter.
