Late Summer Afternoon

Late Summer Afternoon- oil on panel- 6x8 inch
Almost didn't think I was going to have time to paint one today, but found some time after dinner.  A totally enjoyable paint listening to (and singing along to!)  Australian folk tunes while immersing myself in the light and shadows falling on these steps. 
Driving through this village (Newburg) in the late afternoon last summer,  the light was just so delicious that I actually pulled over, stopped the car just to drink it in.  Snapped a couple of pics on my phone to remember it by.  That was the inspiration for tonight's subject.  Definately a candidate for my 'Sunny Ways' theme.

  1. Love it. I'm trying to remember Newburg. It is definitely a candidate for the "sunny ways" theme.

    1. Hi Barbara, thanks! Newburg is just west of Camden East, a little Ontario village in the countryside, with a river running through it and cute old limestone buildings.

    1. Thanks Jane,...yes it looks like it could be an old English village or maybe even Italy or something, doesn't it...sorry to deflate the romantic baloon, but it is a little limestone village in Ontario, ...Newburg!
