Quarry Reflections is a 1926 by Paul Shively, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This painting shows a rocky cliffside with a narrow staircase cutting into it. The rocks are painted in earthy browns and greens, while the water below is calm and reflective. A few hardy plants grow near the water’s edge, and the whole scene looks quiet and still. The artist used loose, watery brushstrokes to capture the texture of the rocks and water. The colors blend softly, especially in the shadows and reflections. Next, check out Paul Shively (American, 1897–1987) to see more of his landscapes.
