In this sculpture, the artist has created a beautiful and evocative image of the American landscape. The rich and vibrant colours of the sky and earth are offset by the stark white of the clouds, creating a sense of movement and energy. The composition is simple and elegant, with the horizon line bisecting the canvas and the clouds seeming to float in the air. There is a sense of calm and serenity in the sculpture, which is enhanced by the soft, gentle light. This is a beautiful and atmospheric sculpture which captures the essence of the American landscape. light orange by Ivan Aivazovsky expressive
