Carrie’s Painting of the Week
Dawn, Essex
By Carrie Jacobson
Dawn comes later and later these days, and dusk earlier. I saw a red leaf in a tree surely stressed by drought, and summer’s heat, but still, it is a harbinger.
I painted sunflowers this week. One of the paintings sold before I’d finished it; another sold before it dried, and I never even took a photo! I will post one next week.
I finished this one this week, and it seems right to put it up on Zest. It feels like a day of dawns today, for some reason. The air this morning is fresh and cool, and I can smell autumn, just there, just beyond the horizon.
The Mystic Outdoor Art Festival is not this weekend, but next. If you’re in Connecticut, or feel like coming, stop in and say hello! I will be at the corner of Willow and Main, and I will have new paintings – and sunflowers!
This painting is 24 x 24, oil on canvas. If you’re interested in finding out more about it, please email me at carrieBjacobson@gmail.com
