Heading towards the summer solstice the days are long and the evening light very beautiful. I have been working on a few larger paintings, just working for the last 45 minutes of daylight each evening. As the light dies you begin to become aware of different things - some colours start to float and the filigree of lighter branches begin to appear as the interior of the woods darken. None of them are finished yet, and I will continue going back and layering up the paint until I think they are finished (or I move on to something else).
