Golden Light


12 x 16 Acrylic Plein Aire painting was painted in September, a perfect time to find vibrant color and soft light. While accompanying our oldest son Micah on an archery hunt, I brought my paints and found the afternoon light perfect - Since I had to work fast I was delighted with the way the acrylic paint allowed me to capture this exquisite moment as summer gives way to the fall: as mid day gives way to evening. I too have archery hunted in my past but now I bring home a gentler harvest.
