14x18 oil on canvas plein air
The artist learns to see different kinds of light in addition to the direction of the light.  The color of daylight varies from dawn to dusk.  The color changes from saturated warm colors in the morning losing intensity of color to intensity of contrast at midday.  The light is starker at midday with bright lights and deep dark shadows. The saturation of all the color diminishes as the light washes out the scene.
