Shadow Side of the Arch 16" (h) × 20" (w) × 1" — Acrylic on Canvas
A moody winter stand of evergreens rises beneath the dark underside of a Chinook Arch, where midday light feels like dusk and the sky carries its own quiet drama. Painted from the shadowed side of the arch, this piece captures that fleeting moment when the world turns heavy and dim, yet a soft eastern glow still breaks through the horizon. The contrast between the brooding cloud shelf and the pale, persistent light creates a landscape suspended between weather systems — a place where calm, cold stillness meets the atmospheric tension of a changing sky.
