There was just an hour to paint before a November sundown, I stood at the edge of Trailview 2 and quickly put my gear together. Shadows were quickly consuming the scene. Those were blocked in first to literally stop the advance of time. The remaining portions of light and sky came afterward. Sometimes rushing in has advantages. This painting has a fresh look, capturing the essence of light at that very moment. As soon as the sun dropped below the tree line, temperatures dropped too. This piece took less than 45 minutes!
