Several weeks back the fields of Northampton, MA were ablaze from the setting sun. It was still very much winter along the rail trail but I could sense the emergence of the seasonal change.
I didn't know if I could match the intensity of the orange in the distant fields. However, I felt pretty good after I mixed quinacridone gold with cadmium red. The radiance of those two colors combined, reminded of my experience down in the Deerfield Valley.
The late day sun cast such a lovely glow across the landscape that it is etched in my memory. There are not many other experiences of such atmospherical drama which I can draw upon. In the summer if you are lucky(weather-wise) along the Maine coast I have seen unmistakeable sunsets across the Atlantic Ocean.
