SOLD – Quiet Pause – Ben A’an

This soft pastel study captures a fleeting moment of stillness at the foot of Ben A’an, just before the ascent begins. Inspired by a recent walk, A Quiet Pause reflects the hush of anticipation—the space between movement and exertion, where the landscape invites contemplation.

The scene is bathed in shifting light, with the path gently leading the eye through the composition. Soft yet vibrant pigments layer to evoke the richness of the heather-clad slopes, and the cool shadowed rock. There’s a quiet energy in the textures—the interplay of light and land—hinting at the climb ahead but holding, for now, in this moment of pause.
