Sundown Shadows
A landscape painting..21cm x 30cm Watercolour on Arches Medium Watercolour Paper with a touch of metallic Gold acrylic paint for highlights. Just loosely applied the paint and created this painting in the imopressionist style..another world….
With the going down of the sun
dark shadows will fall
brightness dims… the night has come
the land is cloaked, it wears its shawl…

LOVE THIS!!!!
and the verse is so apt! – It could also go with bushfire healing!
☼ AWESOME!! ☼
and It looks like it could be a pair to this one Parched Earth by PamAmos
but the mediums and perspectives are different!
☼ Happy Bubbling! ☼
Chookas! ♥

This is a strong and visually impressive watercolour, Linda. Particularly good tonal sepraration in the dark tones of the ground.
I’m doing the interior of Durham cathedral in watercolour – and using gold acrylic highlights!

thank you so very much Colin for your insightful comment..glad you like it…looking forward to seeing your watercolour with your highlights…I just thought this needed a lift with the gold as there are dark tonal areas..thanks again!
