Reflection Over Storm and Sea by Carolyn Reynolds captures the poignant beauty of nature in a moment of stillness and reflection. The piece features two hummingbirds in flight, their delicate forms hovering against a stormy backdrop. Reynolds uses silver leaf to create a luminous, shifting surface that evokes the moodiness of turbulent skies and restless seas. The silver leaf adds a melancholic yet captivating quality, reflecting light in subtle, dynamic ways that mirror the ever-changing nature of storms. The interplay between the soft shimmer of silver and the darker, storm-inspired tones gives the composition a sense of depth and drama. The hummingbirds, symbols of resilience and grace, provide a striking contrast to the brooding background, reminding viewers of hope and beauty even in life’s more tumultuous moments. Reflection Over Storm and Sea is a powerful and evocative work, blending emotional intensity with Reynolds’ signature elegance.
