#216 – After the Solstice

Aptly named, this painting captures the setting sun as it slowly inches later into the afternoon. Many homes such as this one, were built in Elora Ontario, Canada sometime during the 1800’s. In the company of large, sweeping evergreen and deciduous trees, the home appears comfortably tucked into the cold drifts of snow.

While this piece is mainly cool toned, we see a glimmer of the changing seasons to come; fleeting afternoon sun laces through the foreground, gilding the woody details with its warm touch. The palette of this painting was completed using many layers of manganese blue hue, cobalt turquoise, paynes gray, pyrrole red, diarylide yellow, hansa yellow light, and ultramarine violet pigments.
