This piece was accepted into The Hummingbird and Dragonfly Art Gallery online exhibit titled, “Autumn Landscapes,” running, September 8, 2023 – October 12, 2023.
This needle felting was inspired by the below photo taken by Lois Zak while she was kayaking on an early fall morning on the Seagull River near the end of the Gunflint Trail in Northeastern Minnesota.
When the sun is low on the horizon, sunlight has a longer distance to travel through the sky before it reaches you, scattering more of the longer wavelengths of red light and causing orange and pink rays to appear across the sky and the clouds. The purple hues are the result of the mixture of the blue and red-colored sky.
