Original artwork description:

This large landscape painting shows pine trees against a dark orange sky.

Pine trees are special, aren't they?

Majestic with an elegant form, their perfume fills the evening air...

If you are out rambling at sunset, then you'll experience strong contrasts in light and dark. You'll notice that shape and form emerge with a better definition.

That’s when trees transform from green to black, and their striking silhouette appears against the glowing clouds.

They become more than just trees, but symbols of beauty and mystery.

Recently I witnessed such a sunset in a pine forest near home.

On reaching a clearing, sky and pines were clearly visible.

The sun was already low, casting a deep orange hue across the sky.

A large cumulus cloud was filled with colours ranging from orange to pink and red.

The trio of pine trees, already dark against the sky, looked like giant sculptures with long slender branches that seemed to reach out to touch the sky in an embrace.

The light imperceptibly faded and as it faded, green plants that carpeted the ground began to glow in the dark.

This painting emerged from the memory of the feeling I felt that evening.
