Late Afternoon in Early Spring (2019) Original Oil Painting by Hilde Hoekstra

The bright and warm colors of the setting sun and the very long shadows of early spring give this painting a feel of loving warmth and a bit of solace I think.
Just one day of sketching outside offered me enough inspiration for a dozen paintings. At this specific spot I was overwhelmed with the bright orange sunlight playing around these robust tree trunks. I know what van Gogh would do – was wat I thought..
At the studio, preparing my panels I decided I would give it a try because, well… van Gogh is no longer around ;)

The painting is varnished and framed in a wooden, ‘white washed’ frame. The panel is glued to a canvas of the same size to make it float in the frame. (this can be undone if that is your wish).
