This painting was my demonstration for my watercolor class. I was attracted to the wonderful sky and the dark lacy pine tree against the the late evening sky. I hope you like it, I found this painting to be a reflection of the need for a calm port in the storm.
18×24 watercolor on 140lb paper
“Last Light”
The fading warmth of the sun’s rays
Enveloped by cold gray layered clouds
Spotlights through the black-latticed pines
Reaching out to pull
Emerald greens out of the late winter grass
Elegant dancing trees their branches
Playing gestural mime games
Lyrical and wistful
Claiming the last of the evening’s mantle for their own
Beautiful watercolor of which I am intensely attracted by the ray of sunlight that shines from the tan extension of the background to the green field of the foreground, marking a bright path of light that takes me to the reflection in the front of the dark green leaves of the trees . Steve thanks for showing it to us
