“Holiday Beach”
Oil on Canvas, 24” x 20” x 1.5”
Merritt Reservoir – Valentine, Nebraska
In Holiday Beach, the soft glow of a Sandhills sunset stretches across the sky, igniting the horizon in hues of blush pink, lavender, and golden amber. Painted in the expressive language of Open Impressionism, this piece captures the quiet beauty of Merritt Reservoir—a beloved place where time slows, and the heart remembers.
A graceful cottonwood tree anchors the shoreline, its windswept branches reaching toward the glowing sun as it sinks beyond the western hills. The still waters reflect the sky’s fading brilliance, while a cluster of rustic dock posts evokes the simplicity of summer days spent lakeside—barefoot, unhurried, and free.
With bold brushstrokes and a modern yet timeless palette, this painting celebrates the serenity and nostalgia of Nebraska’s Sandhills, offering a moment of peaceful reflection for the viewer. Every stroke invites you to breathe deeply, to remember the warmth of a perfect sunset, and to carry that golden light forward.
