"Glory Daze", abstract expressionist landscape painting by Kate Dardine

18x24 acrylic on canvas

Glory days, don't let 'em pass you by... this painting asks viewers to suspend their hectic lives for awhile and transport to a time and place when life was simpler, when there was time to spend hours wandering through the woods. Painted with a palette knife, this painting captures your attention from afar, and then delights you with hidden discoveries up close. As you enter into the glow of a beautiful autumn day, you can almost smell the leaves, hear the call of a crow and the rustle of a squirrel, and feel the warmth of the sun as it filters down through the golden canopy. Stay awhile and breathe.
