Pause on an Ancient Earth measures 9 by 12 inches and is composed in watercolor and gouache. The painting presents a substantial tree with broad, twisting branches and dense green leaves positioned in the foreground. Its roots grasp a patch of darker soil, surrounded by a variety of plants typical of a natural, undisturbed environment. Behind the tree, rocky cliffs rise sharply from rolling hills, their solid forms rendered with careful detail. The sky above employs soft horizontal washes of blue and pale purple, creating a quiet atmosphere that suggests early morning or late afternoon light. The combination of watercolor and gouache allows for a balance between the textures of earth and rock and the fluidity of sky and foliage, capturing a specific place anchored in a precise moment.
