Returning to a favourite spot at Galmpton Creek to paint en plein air. I knew time was fleeting as the day's last light cast its glow over the landscape. The sun had already dipping behind the Dartmouth hills, I set up my easel in a hurry, determined to capture the scene before darkness descended.

It is a tranquil waterside view but I felt the urgency to capture this fleeting moment of beauty.

With swift and purposeful brushstrokes, I aimed to distill the essence of Galmpton Creek into the painting. The fading light rendered the hills dark, in a contre jour effect. Every stroke was a race against time, a race to capture the scene as it was,.

'The Edge of Daylight' is the result of hurried creativity which gives it a sense of life and vigour, with the aim of bringing you an experience of that tranquil moment at the edge of the water, at the edge of daylight.
