Purple Hour, Original Acrylic Painting

"Purple Hour"
 
This work was painted from a memory of a walk through the park just before dusk with the goal of highlighting the warm purples and oranges that show up exclusively during this time of day and are rarely captured with a lens.

PURPLE HOUR - a poem written about this painting by my sister
 
It's easy to dislike the shadows,
the way they cover the waking
ground in blackness. but there
are times we need these unlit
silhouettes. they remind us of
the night that lurks within the day.
they remind us of our need for
warmth. they remind us that we
are not made for darkness,
but for the light.
 
-Maggie Livingston
