The Sands of Whitewater c. 1930

"The Sands of Whitewater" is a striking pencil drawing by Richard Day, created circa 1930. The artwork depicts a dramatic mountain range, with stark, angular forms and a sense of depth and scale. The use of light and shadow creates a sense of mystery and grandeur, with the peaks rising dramatically against a soft, gray sky. The drawing's stark simplicity, use of geometric shapes, and emphasis on form are characteristic of Day's distinctive style, which often depicted landscapes with a sense of awe and reverence.
