"For centuries, stately buildings like these have
graced the capitals of Europe each lining the beautiful promenades that
characterize city life. As this winter day winds to its inevitable
conclusion, evening lights illuminate the shops and attractions along this
classic boulevard as each warmly invites passers by with its wares. Couples
and families stroll from shop to shop lazily acquiescing to the evening as
they bask in its attractions while nestling warmly together. This evening is
especially filled with scenes of elegance and imbued with life as day cedes to
evening and lights dot the snowy horizon creating an interlude of contrast
between light and growing silhouettes. Like the many winter evenings before
it, this evening on the promenade punctuates the day with class and beauty.
As I staged this painting, I am reminded of the master impressionists who
share my passion for light. Painters like Renoir, Sisley and Monet who made
countless studies of the effects of light with the goal to enlighten art by
bringing it from its previous dark tones and into the wondrous colors of
nature bathed in light. Winter's Dusk is a celebration of the beautiful
effects of light on the end of a wintry day and a reminder of the energy and
life borne of light!"
