Morning Fog at the Naftali Mountains

Morning Fog at the Naftali Mountains: Acrylic on Canvas, 20” x 15.5”

Morning Fog at the Naftali Mountains is an acrylic on canvas painting. Here a blanket of fog engulfs everything. The ground is gray with subtle green undertones, while the air is a grayish white. The sky and earth blend with similar fog shades separated by a smudged horizon line. The thick light yet airy fog has a milky quality which obscures the line of vision. Here too the buildings are enveloped by the fog and therefore they lack detail.

This piece captures the essence of a foggy morning on the mountain with a dreamy almost otherworldly quality. It is truly an engaging and harmonious work that would add depth to any home or office.

In painting this piece, I focused on the subtle interplay between light and atmosphere, aiming to evoke the quiet stillness that a foggy morning brings to the Naftali Mountains. The muted palette of grays and soft greens enhances the sense of calm and serenity, while the smudged horizon reflects the ambiguity of space and distance within the fog. The lack of sharp details invites the viewer to linger and contemplate, as the landscape seems to float between reality and illusion. This abstraction serves to heighten the mood of peaceful isolation, allowing the viewer to experience the scene as both familiar and surreal, capturing the ephemeral beauty of nature enveloped in mist.
