When the day draws to a close and twilight fills with shadows, I see a new dimension emerges.
A universe where dreams and reality meet.
“Late lies the wintry sun a-bed,
A frosty, fiery sleepy-head;
Blinks but an hour or two; and then,
A blood-red orange, sets again.”
~ Winter-Time

HANNA'S WALK 
Amazing Art!
Hi Alexander. The old painters are for great inspiration and enjoyment. Love their work!
Hanna, such peace in these beautiful paintings! Thank you 🙂
Thanks for that, Mei. It’s easy to get lost in those wonderful evening moods. I certainly do 🙂
There is something nostalgic about the old paintings that really appeals to me Hanna. I can get lost in the Romantic landscape painters. – Curt
Thanks for your comment, Curt. The twilight paintings in my post evoke a special mood in me.
The first painting got me out on a time travel where I was skating with my brother in an idyllic bog area.
I love twilight 🙂
Yes, it’s easy to get lost in the old painters!!
A wonderful memory, indeed, Hanna. Unfortunately, it didn’t get cold enough where I lived to create thick ice. We were lucky if it snowed once a year. I do, however, remember breaking thin ice on a small pond near where we lived so we could claim to be the first in the neighborhood to go swimming in May. –Curt
Haha, it is difficult for children and for some adults to leave ice on water untried.
But it is ingenious to regard the incident as ice swimming 😀
I still find myself breaking ice on a puddle or our bird feeder. 🙂 As for ice swimming, you can imagine 3 or 4 boys stripping off their clothes and daring each other to jump in. –Curt
I’m familiar with the feeling, Curt. There is something irresistible about water that freezes: Can it carry the weight of you?
Not to mention the sound of ice breaking – But of course not as a result of you falling through the ice! 😀
I’ve been on ice that can carry my weight, in the Sierra’s in winter and when I lived in Alaska, Hanna. And yesterday morning, the ice on our bird bath was so thick I couldn’t break it! 🙂
It sounds right when you say you were born to wander 🙂
Yep. 🙂 That’s me.
Hanna, thank you! These paintings are awesome and the artists all unknown to me. I shall look for more of their work.-and wish i could see it in person!

Hi Holly. I’m glad to inspire you. Yes, those paintings are marvellous!!
La belleza que a tantos buenos pintores inspiraron está ahí en esos lienzos. Gracias Hanna por recordarnos su existencia para proporcionarnos un trocito de felicidad.
It is a wonderful work to study the ancient painters, Barbara. But you are the expert there 😊
I am happy if I can create a moment of oblivion in the uncertain times we find ourselves in.
Ah, such beauty! And I should read Stevenson again ♥️
I’m happy to inspire, Anuscka. Thank you!!
Beautiful, evocative paintings. Thanks for sharing them!
Is there anything better than dusk in snowy weather? I love the sight, the smell of snow, the muffled sounds…
Thank you for your comment!!
Those old paintings are fabulous aren’t they? I particularly liked the the last one – the snow looks so realistic.
Hi Mike. If anyone knows what snow looks like, it’s you 🙂
Winter Landscape, Evening Atmosphere painted by Fanny Churberg is exhibited at the Finnish National Gallery and indeed it is fabulous!!
