I was trying to catch that moment at the end of the day when the sun picks out from under a dark cloud. I used my drypoint technique with plenty of leftover ink and some watercolour.

I don’t think either version captured what I was trying to convey.
Then I found a second copy I had filed away, here with a little colour brightening after photography.
