November Horizon
12 x 36 inch oil on canvas
Earlier this week, my uncle passed away.
His loss got me reminiscing fondly about my childhood in Wisconsin and
the positive role that he and my aunt played in my life. In response to
this nostalgia, I detoured on my choice of painting to feature for your
next date and I decided to process my emotions through my work.
November Horizon is loosely based on my grandparents' farm in the central Wisconsin
community of Chilton, where my family shared many wonderful memories
together. To my artist's mind, Wisconsin is all about expansive skies,
low horizons, and dramatic cloud formations. This moment captures the
golden light of a late fall afternoon as winter approaches. I love the
richness and broad sweep of this painting.
