I mentioned the other day that I’d made a couple of sequential painting visits down at the James River near Belle Isle. This is the painting from the second visit. Just a view of nature this time, which shows the diversity that this one site allows:

 I’ve painted this scene before, but I haven’t gotten enough of it so I’ve experimented with a slightly different angle and format. I also pushed the color and handled the brushwork somewhat broader and more impressionistically; probably in part because I decided on a whim to return and once I set up and changed my mind, and set up again in a different spot (this happened a few times) I didn’t have much time to capture the light that I wanted. I started right around rush hour, but the golden glow came closer to the end of my session, hence the title.
