About Evening Glow

The artwork titled “Evening Glow,” created by Alma Woodsey Thomas in 1972, is a notable piece within the Color Field Painting movement and falls under the abstract genre. The title aptly captures the essence of the piece, which is filled with a vibrant and harmonious interplay of colors that evoke the tranquility and beauty of the evening light.

In the artwork, a deep, rich blue serves as the background, against which myriad small, irregular shapes in reds, yellows, oranges, and whites are scattered. These shapes seem to ripple and shimmer, creating a dynamic, almost rhythmic visual experience. The arrangement of hues is carefully orchestrated to give the impression of illuminated fragments against the dark field, reminiscent of the last light of day gradually fading into night. The use of color and pattern emphasizes the motion and vibrancy that are hallmarks of Alma Woodsey Thomas’s abstract style, inviting viewers to lose themselves in the meditative qualities of her composition.
