I’ve been recently really enjoying the colors during early winter sunsets. This is due especially to the lack of foliage on the deciduous trees. The warmth the sunset puts on all the pine trees is absolutely beautiful. It always makes me think of Shishkin.
I stumbled upon this painter a number of years ago and instantly fell in love. One of the things that is so wonderful about these works are their ability to tell a story and set a mood in a landscape.
I will continue to be amazed by them as I hope you will be too.
