I painted this from a photo that my daughter took this summer, by the side of the road in Michigan. I often shy away from painting foregrounds, opting for distance views, but this one forced me to paint the stuff that was close up. And I liked it.

On Croton Point one recent evening, the light was incredible—pouring in from the west and hitting the grasses at the top of the hill and the clouds above, while the woods cast shadows on the foreground. I don’t know if there was something special about this particular evening, or if Croton Point is often lit like this at the end of the day, but I’ll have to find out.
