Morning Light

This oil painting by Devon landscape artist Louise Kelly captures a serene and expansive morning landscape looking out over Woodbury Common, with the sky as its dramatic centerpiece. Using, fluid brushstrokes to depict clouds fanning outward from a glowing sunrise low on the horizon. Soft yellows and pale golds radiate from the sun, gradually blending into cool blues and muted grays, creating a sense of depth and gentle movement across the sky.

Below the luminous sky lies a quiet stretch of countryside. Deep greens and subtle shadows define open fields, while a distant line of trees and a few small buildings hint at rural, Devon life.. The land feels calm and grounded, providing a peaceful contrast to the dynamic, light-filled sky.

The painting conveys a tranquil, contemplative moment, the stillness of early morning just as the day begins to break, with the interplay of shadow and light creating a sense of both vastness and calm.
