This artwork captures a serene memory at a golden sunrise. At anchor in Silva Bay I was overtaken by the tranquility with rippling reflections and the whisper of the morning sea breeze tickling the boughs of the coastal trees. The rocky shoreline with tall, slender trees that leaned in as if welcoming the morning sun. Indeed, a striking silhouette against the sky.
The multiple layers of distant mountain ranges presented in deep blue hues, contrasted with the golden skies. The sky is rich with textured golden and cream tones, depicting the warm glow of natural light. My mood was enhanced by the calm and quiet reflections.
At time of writing, this piece is available for purchase here.

Peter Van Giesen Artist Bio
Peter N. Van Giesen grew up in Ontario and completed university degrees in Psychology & Religion in British Columbia where he currently resides. Inspired by “The Eternal Aura of Nature”, for him, the act of creating art is “a mystical process, a spiritual work…”
Van Giesen describes his painting style as one that hovers between representation, impressionism with a dash of abstract. “I attempt to reach into the fabric of the world exploring the dynamics of tension and elasticity. I create images based on the interplay between darkness and light, the interconnected aura of the natural world.”
Peter was recently featured at Art Tour International
