Afternoon Shadows


Afternoon Shadows:   
Media:  Acrylic on canvas board 
Size:    9 x 12

My great nieces, 5 and 6, have taken on the cause of penguins whose habitat is being threatened by global warming.  I love the way shadows help define shapes and add interesting graphic elements to basic images. 

This building is located on the campus of Franklin and Marshall College, where my husband teaches.  I’ve walked by it many times.  Most times the site is unremarkable, but when the building is bathed in the late day’s warm light, the brick glows and the play of cool shadows across the warm surface routinely takes my breath away.
