The path drops gently through the woods, carpeted with fallen leaves and lit by a single golden patch of late sun. Tall trees and mossy rocks crowd the left bank in cool shadow, while ahead the stone mill and its wheel appear half hidden among shrubs below misty, wooded hills. A pale gold glow breaks through the clouds as the afternoon draws to a close.
Its deep shadows and single pool of light make it a restful choice for a bedroom, and it is just as comfortable in a book-lined study. Last Light on the Path pairs beautifully with The Beech Avenue and Bench Beneath the Oak from the Autumn at the Mill collection, nine paintings that wander around one old watermill and its woodland.
