Abell to Art: Impressionist Paintings

Every sunset brings the promise of a new dawn.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

The last light of day is always worth noting in any season. Winter in particular can offer some spectacular displays of color. Personally, I find the light rather magical at this time of year.

The scene that inspired this work is a nearby pasture.  On an early winter evening, the pink skies spanning across the pasture were contrasted by a golden ray of light.  Those skies seemed endless over a golden-brown expanse. 

A peaceful setting in the midst of winter is a definitely a hopeful sign.
