AfterGlow

oil on canvas

20" x 26"

This is an abstracted scene from Beryl Gaffney Park on the Rideau River, on a warm day in March. It was late afternoon as the sun was getting ready to set, and creating wonderful shadows in the snow. The overwhelming sense was luminosity, which is really the intended subject of this painting. It’s why I’ve named it AfterGlow. I’ve created the luminosity by through deliberate contrasts in each of colour, value and chroma.
