Hurray Sundown

 

Artist: Ben Colbert

The piece entitled Hurray Sundown is an interpretation of an late afternoon in Autumn. The color bands represent diminishing daylight, a distant horizon, and sunset over a harvested field. It is the first of  a series depicting the four seasons of the year.

 

The mural is based on a painting (24×36) on display at the Arts Council of Princeton.

As an artist Colbert has been awarded top honors by the Savannah Art Association, the National Conference of Artists, and the Calloway Art Festival IIX.
