Sun Setting At St Michael's

A Suffolk church in golden evening light - the sun setting over Oulton Marshes

St Michael's Church stands at the entrance to Oulton Marshes on the north-east side - a small, quiet church that most people pass without stopping. But on a summer evening, when the sun is setting and the light comes in low and golden from the west, the church is transformed. The stone catches the warmth and holds it, glowing amber and gold against the sky, and the whole scene takes on the particular beauty that only a summer sunset at the right angle can produce.

This painting captures that moment - the church seen from the north-east, the golden light of a summer evening covering it completely, the marshes stretching out around it in the long, soft light of the end of the day. It is a painting for anyone who knows this corner of Suffolk, who has walked the path to Oulton Marshes and looked back at the church in the evening light and felt the quiet beauty of this place. Painted in oil on canvas board, it has the richness and warmth that this medium brings to golden light on stone.
