Many people are surely familiar with the golden hour around sunset. All the colours become, in a way, deeper and more orange. The name golden hour describes that moment well. The golden hour often inspires the colours of my paintings – as it did in this moment, with swans swimming in the reflection of the setting sun. This oil painting was made in September 2024.
The surface of the sea catches the reflection of the sun from the opposite shore, where the trees tint the water orange. A wonderful moment in the evening sun.
