Sunlight and Shadow--Original Landscape Oil Painting

Today's 8x10 inch oil painting was based on a photo I took last summer at Point Defiance Park in Pierce County, Washington State. It was late evening, the sun was dropping, and the shadows were getting very long. My husband and I sat on a grassy hillside watching park visitors loung on the grass below. I took pictures, made some value studies, and he read the paper. It was a delightful summer evening with a warm breeze after a hot afternoon. Creating this painting was a soothing reminder of warm days coming again in just a few short months. I can't wait!
