Pastel Skies

This acrylic painting on artboard by Norm Edwards captures a serene coastal scene rendered in soft, harmonious tones. The composition is dominated by expansive blues and gentle pastel hues, evoking a calm seascape beneath a sky that blends lavender, rose, and pale lemon tones—suggesting either early morning or the quiet fade of evening.

Brushstrokes are fluid and expressive, giving movement to the water and texture to the sky. Subtle reflections ripple across the surface, while a few distant white sails on the horizon add a delicate sense of scale and presence. The foreground features layered, earthy undertones—hints of rocky shoreline or shallow tidal pools—adding depth and grounding the composition.

Overall, this piece offers a contemplative, atmospheric mood, celebrating light, reflection, and the quiet rhythm of the sea. It’s a soothing work that invites the viewer to pause and drift.
