Cabin Shadows, 8 x 10, Oil on panel, L. Daniel © 2018
I have been spying this little cabin for years and never managed to get to it when the light was right. Actually, I really didn't believe that the light EVER touched it, due to all the surrounding trees. Well, an unexpected, late afternoon painting opportunity revealed otherwise. As it turns out, the sunlight hits this darling front door right around 3:15, and plays quite dramatically on it's face for several hours. It was a delightful surprise and a good lesson that "timing is everything".
Timing is everything and 3:15 p.m. is probably not the time most plain air painters are out there, but you nailed it on this, as usual.
