Afternoon Shadows

Long Shadows, 30 x 30

You know this time of day - when the sun drops on the horizon, colors deepen and shadows stretch out forever. There is nothing quite like that afternoon glow to take your breath away.

You blew me away again! I love the way the horizon peeks through the tree branches and the orange you placed on top of the grassy area!

Hi Laurel,

These paintings are such a pure delight. Instead of looking out my
window, I look at your work, and imagine I'm in these lush landscapes
instead of freezing in the north.

XOXOXO Barbara

Heart-breaking. I love the late afternoon light. Everything is so crisp and sharply defined by the light.
