On this morning I had planned on getting out to watch the moon set at around 4:30 am. Meanwhile my granddaughter was being born in Ohio and it seemed like a fitting tribute to her to paint this picture. The moon was setting, the sun began to creep up and cast light across the landscape. These two sources created a mixture of different types of light, from the background and direct light creating shadows. Snows are blue in low light and fallow grasses turn rosy in the light. I painted this over a relatively unsuccessful oil that had some good color fields mapped out. When I added this new

landscape over the old one it was as if it painted itself. Price $3600.
