"PROPERTY LINE" original oil painting

 Awakening in the morning and seeing the sun just beginning to rise I realized it had stopped snowing, at least for the time being.  I took this shot in the hopes of a painting.   As I stood  looking out I thought "gosh, no walls"? In Southern California everything is walled in.  You're  lucky if you see, let alone meet, your neighbor, a kind of a commentary on my society as of late.  My son and his wife met their neighbors before they moved in.   Here the property line is open and free, bound only by the respect for one another.  Oil painting on a 6x6" Birch panel that is mounted onto a varnished wooden box: (SOLD)

Smashing job on the lighting here! The silhouetted subjects serve to enhance that piercing glow which almost makes me want to turn away as if truly looking into the sun. Beautiful job as always! Really am enjoying your experience at your son's home. Jeanne
