Winnisquam Sunset at Ahern ~SOLD (Somebody Liked This!)
8 in. x 8 in., acrylic on canvas
$115 (framed)
A late summer afternoon with a friend sitting on the sandy eastern shore of Lake Winnisquam at Ahern State Park here in NH was the inspiration for this painting. There's a little walking trail that leaves the beach and runs up the knoll through the woods, emerging on this little woodsy rise overlooking a sharp drop-off down to the water. The sun was setting on the other shore (that's Steele Hill, there) with strong light right in our eyes just outside the right frame of the painting and illuminating the dry leaves and pine needles on the ground with gold. The warm and cool colors were exciting to me and the shadows were fun and dramatic. It was a good excuse to use blues and oranges, my favorite complementary pairing together.

Love love love.. I can feel the warmth of the sun, and the longer shadows of the late afternoon against the blue sky speak of a satisfying day... Gorgeous, Shawne!
