COMMENTS
“The transition from orange to blue-gray is flawless.”
—Robert P. Conway, “A Catalogue Raisonné 1936-2006, June Wayne - The Art of Everything”, Rutgers University Press 2007.

Here Wayne uses the subtleties of color, allowing us to poetically experience the moment when the Sun appears to reach its most northerly or southerly excursion relative to the celestial equator on the celestial sphere.
