The Golden Hour

The Golden Hour is an original pastel by local artist Vida Miller that captures the fleeting moment when the Lowcountry marsh is transformed by the last light of day. Bands of glowing gold and fiery orange sweep across the grasses, dissolving into deep purples and saturated blues as the sky shifts toward evening. The scene feels expansive yet intimate—familiar, calm, and quietly magnetic.

Miller’s expressive pastel technique creates luminous depth through layered color and soft movement, echoing the way wind moves through the marsh and light changes minute by minute. This is a piece that rewards long looks, revealing subtle shifts in tone and texture as the light in your space changes throughout the day.

Framed and ready to hang, The Golden Hour offers warmth, color, and a sense of ease—making it an ideal statement for collectors drawn to coastal landscapes, bold color, and the timeless beauty of the South Carolina Lowcountry. At a versatile size, it’s substantial without being overwhelming and brings an immediate sense of place to any room.
