Blue flow (Stones on the beach?) Roerich N.K. (Part 2)

The drawing presents a close-up view of what appears to be a collection of rocks or stones situated on a sandy surface. The artist has employed a limited palette dominated by muted blues, grays, and yellows, creating a sense of subdued light and texture. A large, central stone occupies the foreground, its form rendered with layered strokes that suggest both mass and erosion. Its contours are irregular, hinting at natural weathering processes.
Around this primary element, smaller stones and sandy patches are scattered, their edges blurred by the application of color. The yellow tones in the background seem to emanate from a light source positioned above and slightly behind the scene, casting subtle shadows that further define the forms. There is an impression of dampness or moisture, given the softened outlines and the way the colors blend together.
The composition lacks a clear horizon line or any indication of expansive space. This deliberate cropping focuses attention on the tactile qualities of the stones themselves – their weight, surface irregularities, and the interplay of light upon them. The absence of human presence or other contextual elements contributes to a feeling of quiet solitude and contemplation.
Subtly, theres an ambiguity in the depiction; while the title suggests a beach setting, the lack of water or broader landscape features allows for alternative interpretations. One might perceive these forms as geological strata, abstract shapes, or even symbolic representations of resilience and endurance – elements shaped by time and natural forces. The drawing’s simplicity encourages a meditative engagement with the materiality of the subject matter.
