Oil on panel, 6"x6"
This piece is similar to "Afternoon Light". Almost a mirror image but I placed this tree on a hillside and Hit the top of the tree with direct light. I witnessed lighting like this the other day in the neighborhood. The tree tops were glowing while very cool greens were in the shadows below the sunlight. It only lasted for a few brief minutes then it was gone. I made mental notes of the colors and how I would mix them. Not quite plein air painting but this is the kind of mental work John Carlson was famous for.

Wow! Great concept and you pulled it off expertly.
Love the steep hill, hills in the distance, colors, sky...hey, what's not to like?
Gorgeous, David! I was observing the setting sun lighting up the tops of the trees just this week. You captured it beautifully!
