The Beauty of Stagnant Water

When I first looked at the vista, I thought it was quite ugly. The water was somewhat stagnant and drying up, and the surrounding terrain was dusty and barren. But as I continued to gaze, colors seemed to emerge from the depths... the browns and grays revealed reds, blues and purples. It was these brighter, richer 'hidden' colors that won me over and ended-up becoming this painting. It just goes to show that if you look hard enough, beauty can be found even in a body of stagnant water.
