Sheltered Farm

Watercolor on paper, 5" x 8.75"
$150 plus $6 shipping in U.S.
SOLD


This farm east of Union sits in a narrowing valley flanked by foothills of the Blue Mountains. Under the brow of this rolling hill it is probably somewhat more sheltered from the winter winds.

I loved the way the late afternoon sun caught the swelling curve of the upper field and illuminated the gable end of the barn. If I had to single out one aspect of my art that was more important to me than any other, it would be the quality of light.

Really nice, Don. You capture the essence of a place so well. Even though I'm not there, I feel like I am.

You captured a grand feeling of last light, night hovering near. Majestic!

Sorry for the slow response, Erika--I was in the middle of putting on my tights and cape. :^)
