Description
This scene is from one of the pleasant walks in the hills at the back of where I live in Borlange. The area is called Bergebo and is a popular destination for walkers as well as school children for nature studies and recreational use. During the winter months, these walks are transformed into ski paths. Many of the paths have lighting too which is great if you want to go skiing in the late afternoon or evening. This painting was done from a photograph taken in the autumn, before the first snow had arrived. It was late afternoon and the sun was just disappearing. It was highlighting parts of the pine trees and making a fine sunset. That's what I tried to show in this painting. I liked the end result and how unlike watercolour the paint appears to be.
