Strong visual impact : this is so uplifting to view! The colors here are incredible and so alive ! I love also the way you show the light and shadows. It appears to be a fabulous sunset around a cove or a pond , I see some foliage and to the right it appears to be a woman, wearing a white dress or wrap as she is walking out of the water.
Very well created, beautiful arrangement , well presented!

Pat, This was created to emphasize the time when all the colors seem to disappear into the night. With the night time up in Alaska, I am sure know the scene. Thank you for your wonderful review, comments and rating. I am so glad you enjoy it. Ray

This is an interesting
rendition of the night approaching. I see beautiful colors that I love creating a beautiful scene. I'm sorry that I don't see anything definitive, But I appreciate the color combination and the artwork.

Comment from avmurray
This is an impressive painting Ray, and most of all because of the great color pallet and the feel of motion. I also like the way the colors are blending into each other and the almost opaque blues at the bottom.
It is also a fine light in this painting , and of course as always, it is great textures to be seen. I suppose it is a radiant sunset we are seeing here.
The format and framing is perfect, and it is a fine flow and balance in the composition. I have really enjoyed reviewing this great looking and well done painting.

Comment from soulfeeder
Love the colors and the title. I see a couple sitting on the ground, the woman in red hat and white cloak and the man with thick clothing also with red hat. I just presume they are ready to build a fire. The layers of textures and colors are beautiful and a bit of red dominance. This painting looks semi-abstract for me. High on originality and storytelling ability. A pleasure to view.

Nieves, I am so happy this told the story of just after dusk, you even caught the fire, you are good, but I already know that. The actual painting is a bit brighter. I am so happy you were able to see into this and that you enjoyed it and it is abstract. Thank you so much for your wonderful review. Ray

Hi Ray, this Acrylic on paper "As the Night Approaches" seems like I'm decending into hell with demons pulling at my limbs and my soul. But that's just me. Well done and thanks for sharing :-)

Comment from Kathy Banich
I believe this to be considered an abstract piece. Let me know if my memory is intact. The dark colors / tones, sets the mood. I seem to identify a couple of winged figures upon deep review of this piece. I get a since of torment and regret as I gaze at this work. A well-executed piece that invokes contemplation and interest.

Kathy, have no fear your memory is truly intact. It is abstract and meant to create a feeling angst as the night approaches as per the title. I am glad you enjoy it. Ray

Abstract art transforms imagination into a visual feast, offering a contemporary canvas for the modern artist. As always, your creativity flourishes to redefine artistic expression. Beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder. Well done! Good luck!
