Winter Twilight from Olana

Hi everyone, my name is Isabella! Welcome to the Olana State Historic Site! nn Today, we're going to look at a painting called "Winter Twilight from Olana." It was painted by a really talented artist named Frederic Edwin Church. He loved to paint pictures of nature, just like this one! nn What do you see in the painting?

That's right! There's snow, trees, and even some mountains far away. What colors do you see? nn The artist used lots of orange and yellow in the sky. Can you guess what time of day it is in the painting? That's right, it's twilight! That's the time of day just before it gets dark. nn Look closely at the snow. Do you see how the artist made it look sparkly and real? He was a very good painter! nn Now, let's take a quiet moment to look at the whole painting. It makes you feel peaceful, doesn't it? That's because the artist wanted to show us how beautiful and calm nature can be, especially in winter. nn Let's go to the next painting and see what other amazing things we can discover!
