In “Still Waters, Rising Moon,” artist Paul Batch depicts a grouping of tall, slender trees with lush green foliage standing along the edge of a body of water. The distant moon, observed through the trees, hangs low on the horizon, and there is a soft glow of light to the muted marsh grasses in the foreground. The sky transitions down from warm to cool pinks to violets with a warm grey-violet haze extending along the horizon. The water mirrors the trees and sky, and the overall feeling that Batch achieves is one of tranquility and peace.
