The Magic Hour


SOLD  The Magic Hour, (Oil on Canvas 24"X 48")

The Magic Hour is the first or last hour of sunlight during the day. This is depicting the sun going down in NY. The light affect you see in this painting is actually how it looks and not from an outside light source like a lamp or camera flash. The unique thing about this painting that you can’t see from the photo is that the lights on the buildings are done in metallic oil paint giving it a shine when hit by the light.
I completed this and delivered it to the client in NY last week. She loved it so much that she now wants two more paintings. I want to work on a collection for a gallery that I am getting into but I have so many commissions lined up. There is not enough time in the day to do both, and I don’t know what to work on first.
