I painted Glory
of Morning and Glory of Evening as a pair. Both
explore the subtleties of transitional light, when
the sky flames with a special radiance, when colors
are heightened and shadows dance on the ground. But
Glory of Evening is as different from its
companion-piece as sunset is from sunrise. The dust
of a busy day, and its low-lying clouds, reflect
the violet of sunset. That violet radiance colors
the garden flowers, deepening their hues. Such
glorious evenings as this lay a purple cloak upon
the land... and every home becomes a castle.
