The western ray of the setting sun at the end of a short late autumn day. The sun suddenly emerged from behind the clouds at sunset and illuminated the vase of chrysanthemums standing on the table for a moment. It immediately sparkled with magical colours and seemed to hang in the air, supported by this ray. And the grapes, which I had managed to lay out on the table to make a sketch, began to radiate an unearthly glow. It was one of those rare moments of inspiration when the brushes paint themselves and the colours fall exactly as you intended from the very first stroke. After experiencing such moments, you realise that time is a relative concept. I painted this picture in two days.
