Evening Light over Mountain Valley, 2022

Evening Light over Mountain Valley

Golden evening light spreads across a cloud-filled sky above a wide mountain valley. Layers of blue and violet ridges extend into the distance, while the hills below are covered with green forests and the warm colours of autumn.

The sky is the most expressive part of this painting. Yellow and pale gold appear between broad grey-blue clouds, creating a luminous contrast with the cooler mountains. In the foreground, trees in ochre, copper, red and green add richness to the landscape, while a few bright yellow trees stand out among the darker woodland.

I was interested in that moment when the evening sky remains full of light, although the mountains and valleys have already begun to darken. The changing colours create a beautiful balance between the warmth above and the cooler landscape below.

Painted with broad, confident brushstrokes, this small original work preserves the immediacy of observing nature. The visible texture of the oil paint gives the clouds, mountains and autumn trees a lively surface.

"Evening Light over Mountain Valley" offers collectors an intimate impressionist landscape with a remarkable sense of space, atmospheric depth and the rich colours of an autumn evening.
