The Golden Hour, that magical span of time when the sun is close to the horizon. Whether shortly before sunrise or shortly after sunset, the daylight and the landscape appear softer, warmer and redder. As a landscape painter, I strive to capture and hold on to the feeling of a moment in time. The beauty of the sun-drenched clouds was the inspiration for my painting, "The Golden Hour." A moment to welcome the gift of a new day, a new beginning, or perhaps be a reminder of this gift at the close of the day.
