"PASTURE AT DUSK, JAMES 3:18” by Thomas Kegler

This oil painting explores the nuanced interplay of warm and cool in a pastoral setting. My aim was to capture the serene, overcast atmosphere of dusk, where soft, diffused light gently blankets the scene. The subtle forms of cows, nestled in the cool shadows of the pasture, provide a sense of quiet presence without dominating the composition. Instead, the eye is drawn to the bright, illuminated warmth at the horizon, a sliver of luminous warmth that promises the day's gentle end, creating a dynamic contrast that evokes both tranquility and the lingering beauty of twilight.
