Artwork location: United States
This diptych explores a playground at dusk, when the swings and riding toy are abandoned waiting for the children to return. This time of day has always been my favorite for painting landscapes. When my daughter was young, we used to frequent this park outside Washington, DC. The mood is not quite sinister, but you do wonder what might happen here after dark! The two pieces are meant to be displayed side by side, but you might choose to have a space between them as well.
