Fading Afternoon


I struggled for a title for this one. Started out simply as "The Florist", then I thought about "They don't know you anymore" - inspired by a song lyric.
Finally settled with a simpler title, Fading Afternoon, to evoke that time of day as dusk threatens to settle on the landscape, and daylight will only linger a little while longer....

  1. Oh I love this one. It's as if her skin, her face is the only thing in focus, and everything else is fading as well. How lovely! <3

  2. Fading Afternoon is the perfect name. I get that dreamy feel from the girls surroundings like the sun is sitting. I love how you use ink strokes to draw attention to the focal point. Another stunning painting.
