Scott, more than anyone else who posts work here, you get that ethereal, eerie Northern light feeling in your work.
I've been in this kind of light a couple of times - the western coast of Wales and New Zealand come to mind, and I'm told the Hebrides are also this way, although I've never been there.
There's a spooky mystery to this kind of light that is hard to describe. I can't do so because now that I've posted that I need angel's wings, I'm in danger of losing my Forum Credibility License.
This painting radiates a fiercely controlled tonalism, a stern refusal to provide cheap color thrills.
(When this painting arrives in Arizona we will give him a poncho and a red feather boa.)
