Shouded Sun

Shrouded Sun by Alison Vernon
24x30, oil with palette knives on canvas
I painted this painting about four years ago. It captures a strange moment in the day, dusk with the sun peeking through clouds like a ghost. It was probably in November because November in New Hampshire has the most spectacular skies, also the leaves are off the tree. Shrouded Sun sold yesterday. It went to a wonderful family so it will have a good life.

Watch me paint this painting! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P7xQNBdqwBU
The male Ruby Throat Hummingbirds have moved south now and the females will be leaving soon. For me, this is the real marker of the change from summer to fall in New Hampshire.

We raise layer chickens. What quirky creatures they are. The roosters have huge attitudes and will challenge my husband to a duel any chance they get. The eggs are lovely.
