Last Light, 30 x 40, oil by Ron Donoughe

Painting the area close to my studio has become much more important to me over the last few years. I especially like the narrow alley ways. They allow me to describe how colors change over distance while also showing a sense of place. In this painting the late day light is just touching some row houses before they drop into shadow.

Wow, such a serene time of day. Love the warm corner of the brick building and the reflections in the windows, the depth...

This is fabulous Ron, as is all your work. It seems as if the detail goes on for miles, though I am sure that up close it is really just well placed brush strokes. I just love it!

You place your viewer right into the painting and make them feel as though they are actually there - just magnificent!

Great work Ron. Catching the light can be like trying to catch a butterfly sometimes. Your paintings make it look so easy. Awesome.
