“Seeing So Far” is a striking landscape that captivates the viewer with its vivid colours and thoughtful composition. The deep blue and purple sky is a dramatic backdrop, suggesting the depth of twilight or dawn where the day begins to yield to night.
Below, the plains are awash in vibrant hues of yellow and burnt orange, mirroring the warmth of the earth while contrasting beautifully with the cooler tones above. These colours blend seamlessly, creating an expansive sense of space that invites the viewer to explore the vastness of the landscape. The plains appear to stretch endlessly, reinforcing the notion of distance and the horizon that Emerson so eloquently speaks of in his quote.

In the foreground, a striking red gnarled tree stands prominently, its twisted branches adding character and depth to the scene. The tree, a symbol of resilience and strength, anchors the composition and offers a poignant contrast to the fluidity of the sky and plains. Its vibrant colour draws the eye, inviting one to reflect on its history and the stories it may hold.

The strong, low horizon line frames the painting, serving as a reminder of the expansive world beyond, while emphasizing the notion that the eye craves distance and perspective. Together, these elements create a harmonious balance, inviting the viewer to immerse themselves in the beauty and tranquility of the scene. The artwork resonates with Emerson’s words, suggesting that as long as there is a horizon to gaze upon, the spirit remains invigorated and alive with possibility.

Although the paint continues around the sides of the canvas, the piece is framed in a hand made oak floating frame and the painting is signed on the front with my name ‘Lucinda’, accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity.
