Almost Evening by Japanese artist, Kaoru Yamada
—
while the early morning hours are my favorite time of day
the change to evening holds its own special magic
as the day folds into itself once again.

A wonderful painting, with the hovering moonlight shining through the window, and the hanging light shining over the flowers on the table …

Can’t echo enough. That painting is beautiful. The earliest morning hour begins at midnight and is my favorite. Love the switch to night as well.
