Description
The last light of day casts shadows on a rural landscape of peace and silence.
Storm clouds brewing over the mountains, out of sight in the background of the painting, portend a night of rain and wind, but for now, the air is relatively calm. Quiet reigns, as it does in many places of the rural country landscape.
Evening Shadows, the artwork, invites the viewer to step into the quiet, rural country landscape. To the far left of the picture, the hint of a road winds its way, cutting through the grassy fields. Where we are, the viewer, is in the midst of that field, walking through the grass, along the fence line.
It’s quiet here. Tranquil. Peaceful. Serene. Even with the advent of a coming rain, the land of Evening Shadows is a place where one can be with one’s thoughts, walking to no place in particular, with no agenda or schedule in mind.
How often do we do this? How often do we get away from the constant and endless obligations of “modern” life and simply be away for awhile?
It is incredibly important to do so – to take a walk – purposeful and energetic or gentle and strolling – and be with our thoughts, our dreams, our hopes, our curiosity for awhile. Away from the noise, we are able to mull over things in our mind, to question things we have always taken for granted. There are no voices to scold us into submission, to criticize us for “doing nothing,” to demand that we get back to the desk and type something or answer a call or check our inbox.
In the world of Evening Shadows, the grass gently sways as the breeze picks up, the light gradually fades into twilight gloaming, and the gravel road winds its way up and back, into an area we haven’t seen yet, but will take the time to do so.
