The Dimming of the Day is a moody evening landscape in the tonalist style. Inspiration for the title was the soulful blues ballad by Bonnie Raitt. At its core, the song and the painting is all about yearning for an anchor during dark times, framed by metaphors of nature and twilight.

While visiting various stately homes around Toronto, or attending ballet in a turreted old Victorian, I would be suddenly captured by a dark, moody landscape and be lulled into a quiet respite by the serene, atmospheric, ethereal glow. My goal is for my paintings to evoke that same feeling.
"Painting in the tonalist style, I create atmospheric, moody landscapes which convey a feeling for the passage of time and evoke in the observer a sense of quietude and pensiveness. I hope to impart some lulling solace amidst the discordant clamour of this world."
