Day Ends

Looking to the west for my 10 MILE RADIUS show, I decided to use a picture I took off Henderson Road near Henderson Court. A link between Fairfax and Prince William Counties, it is a very heavily traveled rural commute route and I feel sure few have paused to admire this field like me.

In this painting, I caught this vista near sunset, making it a more profound westernmost piece. Pumping up the color even more, it is at the beginning of the fall foliage turn, so there are extra hints of color in the trees and bold slashes of color in the grasses.
