6x8in. oil on Ampersand Gessobord - sold
My husband's mom lives in a small town here in Nebraska. In her backyard, you can sometimes see the golden setting sunlight on the various houses. This evening was magical: wine coolers on the patio, bees buzzing about, the smell of summer in the air and general warmth was everywhere. I was enamored with the way the dappled golden light fell on this house. This painting went through many revisions - the values on the house versus the value of the dappled light was difficult to control and get right, but I think it all worked out in the end. I don't normally paint architecture, but this was a fun exploration into the subject matter.
