Shaded Clearing

If I were to describe on of the central goals of my landscape painting, it would be to capture the feeling of light. I especially like the quality of light that happens late in the day when long shadows are cast across open fields, and tree tops are splashed with golden light. My inspiration for this painting was a field in Ireland that I stumbled upon late one afternoon when I was living there and was stuck by the beautiful quality of light and shadows playing out in this quiet field.
