Afterglow (2025) Original Oil Painting by Lucy Fiona Morrison

Afterglow captures the fleeting light that lingers just after sunset, when the sky glows with warmth and the land holds a gentle stillness. The painting unfolded slowly in the studio, with each layer building atmosphere and depth, balancing softness with clarity.

Warm tones sweep across the horizon, carrying the last traces of daylight, while cooler passages settle into calm shadows. The brushwork moves between fluid gestures and quieter marks, giving the piece both presence and restraint.

There’s a reflective quality in the way light fades yet lingers, familiar yet elusive, not a direct view, but a memory shaped by feeling. It holds that in-between moment of calm and transition, where the day releases into night.

This balance of warmth and stillness gives Afterglow its character: a painting that feels both grounding and ephemeral, inviting the viewer to pause, breathe, and rest in the glow of a fleeting moment.

Part of a new collection exploring mood, memory, and the emotional resonance of landscape.
