The quiet majesty of the Kingston Point rail trail at dusk. The painting is defined by the use of contrasting color temperatures. Icy, deep blues and purples of the snow-lined foreground push against the fiery amber, crimson, and golden light of the setting sun. From a favorite walk along the Hudson River where the tracks cross a body of water on a narrow isthmus, giving water views on both sides and the trail a feeling of passage making.
Converging lines of the old railway tracks draw the viewer’s eye directly into the glowing horizon. The piece serves as a meditation on the passage of time, both in the fleeting nature of sunsets and the transformation of the region’s industrial past into a corridor of natural, enduring beauty.
