Quarry Creek

$350.00

A sunlit quarry sleeps beneath a wide summer sky, its basin filled with water that holds the day like glass. The surface catches light in spare, brilliant strokes — a scatter of pale gold where the sun first leans in, a deeper, cooling blue toward the shaded lip. Rocks, carved and patient, frame the pool in tooth and terrace; their weathered faces keep the day's warmth and release it slowly into the water.

Trees press close to the shoreline, trunks leaning in with leaves that shiver and glitter, each tiny plane turning from shadowed green to a brighter, almost translucent chartreuse as the sun climbs. Behind them, ridges of woodland step back in layers, a receding chorus of color that moves from rich mid-green to the hazy, sun-washed tones of distance.

The sky above is summer at its most forgiving: wide, warm, and clear, with heat softening every contour. Light hangs heavy but gentle, promising the slow, satisfying warming of the water — coaxing the quarry from cool reserve to placid invitation. The whole scene feels held and deliberate, as if the landscape has paused, waiting for the day to complete its quiet alchemy of stone, tree, and light.
