Title: Unknown

Medium: Watercolor

Origin: Virginia, United States

Dimension:Framed:  Approx. 26.5 x 21 in.

Additional Information: Original watercolor painting by Virginia artist Betty Zoe Miller (1930–2005), known for her detailed depictions of Tidewater and Hampton Roads landscapes and wildlife. The composition centers on a weathered hollow log nestled among marsh grasses, set against a vibrant sunset sky alive with the silhouettes of birds in flight. Fine brushwork captures the texture of the aged wood and surrounding reeds, while soft watercolor washes blend warm oranges, yellows, and pinks into the evening sky, creating a tranquil coastal atmosphere. Earthy tones of olive green, burnt sienna, and raw umber add depth to the marshland foreground, reflecting Miller’s careful observation of the natural environment. The painting is signed by the artist on the bottom right and presented beneath glass with a double mat featuring an oval cutout that frames the scene in a traditional vignette style, with a dark stained wooden frame.
