Golden Hour on the Tidal Flats – Selected for the Nature’s Palette Exhibit at Mills Pond Gallery

​Today I received meaningful news.

I was informed that my watercolor painting “Golden Hour on the Tidal Flats” was selected for the Nature’s Palette Exhibit at Mills Pond Gallery. This exhibition is a special place to select and present artworks themed on nature, and this year it was curated by artist Charles Wildbank, who was a judge.

The sun slowly sets over the flat tidal flats after the tide has drained, and the wind turbines that line the landscape like pinwheels cast long silhouettes.
The yellow light flows down the water, and in the distance, the silhouettes of people reflect and sparkle on the shallow water.
I wanted to capture all of this in one scene.

When I painted this piece, I wanted to capture not just the landscape, but the tranquility that nature gives, the harmony that people and the landscape create, and the emotions that are immersed in the flow of time.

To me, this scene is not just a landscape, but also a profound sense of peace and hope at the end of the day.

This exhibition will be held at the Mills Pond Gallery from August 3 to September 8, 2025. If you are nearby, I would appreciate it if you could come see my small landscape along with the works of many nature-loving artists.

Golden Hour on the Tidal Flats

​Description:
​
In this piece, I tried to capture the quiet stillness of the tidal flats at golden hour.
The scene is anchored by silhouettes of wind turbines rising quietly across the horizon, while the low sun gently lights up the reflective surface of the flats.
Tiny human figures wade through the shallow water, almost becoming part of the land itself.
It is a meditation on balance—between movement and stillness, light and shadow, humanity and nature.

My watercolor Golden Hour on the Tidal Flats has been selected for the Nature’s Palette Exhibit at Mills Pond Gallery, juried by Charles Wildbank. This piece captures the quiet beauty of a tidal flat at sunset, where light, water, and humanity come together in peaceful harmony.
