The Golden Hour

The Golden Hour is that time of day when the sun hovers at the horizon before slipping away. The slanting light casts a gilding over the water and clouds. This painting is on deep stretchers and is wired for hanging. Pallette is cadmium yellow, blue-green and blue-violet. There is a great deal of layered texture in the paint, but the surface is smoothed by thin layers of paint mixed with cold wax medium.
