Almost Home

Lately, I've been experimenting with nocturnes.  I love the juxtaposition of light next to dark.  To me, such a contrast can be dramatic and beautiful.  This was painted from a photo I took as I drove down the gravel road that leads to my house.  As I was passing my neighbor's gate with the blooming yucca on the right, I was struck by the illumination of the road in my car headlights against the last light of the sunset.
