Morning light lll


This color sketch is the last in a tryptych of two buildings in Keene Valley that capture the light at both dawn and dusk in extrordinary ways. I usually walk out from the inn just past the school around 6 am with my thermos of coffee and the dog. I wait for the sun to come up over the mountain and when it strikes the town I am rewarded with long dramatic shadows and patterns of warm light. 9x9in. oil SOLD

I like the balance of space,with the sky and ground equally divided on the picture plane. My favorite part of the painting is the cast shadows on the green, green grass. The little building in the background is most appealing.
