"When, in 1990, I launched my decade-long celebration of the season with Christmas Cottage, I had no clear idea of the challenges such a monumental print portfolio would present. Now, as I conclude the series with Evening Glow, I can tell you that I also had no idea of the pleasures it would provide.

In this series I've delighted in the festive hustle-bustle of the holidays; I've also savored the delicious tranquility of a winter evening. I wanted to convey both moods of the season in this concluding piece.
