The Creuse Valley, Evening Effect — Fine Art

The Creuse Valley, Evening Effect turns a river valley into soft bands of colour at the end of the day. Broad strokes of blue, grey and warm light sit over the water and the hills. Claude Monet worked outdoors to catch the hour when the light changes fast.

The fine art print goes straight onto a nail. The frame finish can follow your room. A light frame on a dark wall lets the cool water tones stand out. A dark frame on a pale wall keeps the warm evening tones from fading.

It works on a kitchen wall near a low table where you stand while the kettle boils. From there the river band and the hill bands read as simple shapes. At the sink you notice the small colour shifts in the sky.
