12x16 oil on canvas plein air
This late afternoon study has the creamy look of paint. Toward late afternoon the atmosphere is warm getting cooler (the opposite of the morning light) and the progression of hues where the light strikes grows yellower, then orange, and finally rose. The shadows get more blue or blue green as the light from the blue sky gets stronger in relation to the light from the setting sun. There is a beautiful point where the relationship of light to dark is dominated by a peach in the light and turquoise in the shadows.
