I painted this very quickly using a lot of palette knife, intending to go back in afterwords and refine it a little. But after my initial pass on it, I decided to leave it alone: even though it's quite sketchy and a bit rough in execution, I liked the energy of it.

This is a view along another favorite walk in Northwest Connecticut, painted from memory, aided by a photo I took with my phone. The light this time of day is magic. Values are close - there's usually not a ton of contrast - so you have to do a lot with changes in color temperature. The warm light and cool shadows are so appealing. There's a reason they call it "magic hour" in the movies...
