Blue Twilight

 

Blue Twilight, 2022, oil on canvas, 40.5 x 50.75 cm


Lake Wendouree, in Ballarat, has always been an amazing sight for the eye. The ever-changing colours and light are a constant source of inspiration. This painting was done from the car and at around the time the sun has only an hour or two to the close of day. Sometimes the sheen on the surface of the lake looks like a mirror rather than water! This was a bit more difficult tp paint for some reason, but I persisted with it as there were a few passages I liked and I didn't want to throw that away. I'm glad I did keep going as it's now one of my favourite pieces.
