In the Golden Light

This was a quick painting. Just a few dabs of paint, mostly acrylics, moved around with an old credit card onto a page in my 11″ x 14″ mixed media sketchbook. I knew to stop early on this one, it shouldn’t be overworked. The story is there, it is something special, but it’s not my story to tell.

I would love to hear/read my storytelling friends lend their tales…. please share your thoughts and stories about this painting in the comments!

      I recently noticed that you and Tim share something else in common, besides being great artists, and photographers, you are my top two commentators on all of my posts!

    This one is amazing. Is it the rich colors of sunrise or sunset? Swirling through the clouds to find this on the horizon — I’m in love.

    Beautiful Tiffany.

    The sun began to set upon the gold horizon
    Reflecting light on sails coming home
    As they smiled
    Youngster watching his fishing line
    God was kissing the sky with golden hues

    Your painting easily evokes poetic words. Thanks Tiffany.

    Love to both you and your honey.

    The waves capture the golden sunbeams and deliver them to the shore where I stand, transfixed.

    I see a landscape with a bright shining sun through a cracked window. Perhaps in the sense that the sun and nature are always there, no matter what else happens. Or maybe there was a recent storm that caused the glass to crack, but then you wake up to sunshine and a “new” landscape the next day. My third interpretation is something that is hidden, a secret or something that one is prevented from reaching (at this time), it just shows up as something obscure, unattainable.

      Oh, wow, you could be absolutely correct on all three theories, very perspective of you, Bird! Thank you for sharing your thoughts! ☺

    I don’t have a story to go with it, but to me it’s a nautical scene. On the ocean at sunset. Very nice.
