Gloaming, has been honored and is currently included in the Autumn Color exhibit at the DuPage Art League until October 27th. If you are local, stop in and take a look at the beautiful work from local artists!
This painting comes from a photo I took at Herrick Lake, a local Forest Preserve in DuPage County. It was in late fall as sunlight lit up the beautiful colors, a signature of autumn!

Having grown up in rural Texas, I remember many dark nights when the
Milky Way was a beautiful display across the sky.
It is not so visible in our light filled skies of the 21st Century, but that doesn't mean it is not there!
This painting captures just a glimpse of something greater and much more mysterious.
And I'm reminded of the Creator, who joyfully stations each one in space.
" He determines the number of the stars; He calls them each by name." (Ps. 147:4)
This painting is painted around the 1.5" sides - framing is not recommended.
