Olive Grove at Twilight, July


Oil on linen24 x 30 cm ( appx. 0.8 by 1.0 feet)

There are only one or two paintings that I allow myself to keep, and this is one. At least for now. For me this painting captures the exact mood of this perfect summer evening in the olive grove, in a remote farm and up a dirt road. I can almost feel the late afternoon sun on my face and chest, and smell the sweet fragrance of drying wheat fields, flowers, and sun baked olive trees while listening to bridsong and buzzing cicadas. Truly a magical time and place.
