Sunset No.62

Feeling very under the weather since the day before, I struggled to get to the sunset. I was pleasantly surprised with some cool looking clouds and I finished as fast as I could so I could get home and rest my head.

Sunset No.61

A stormy sunset even a little rain fell on my pallet.

Sunset No.60

Sorry for the poor image I will post a better one later. For only the fourth time out of 60 sunsets I've abandoned almost all detail and focused on sky and color.

Sunset No.59

5/23/12

 

 beautiful blue clouds over a pale pink background, I didn't really want to paint the green ground but I found it fit nicely with the sky the way I laid it in all scruffy.

Sunset No.58

It's become more interesting to me to paint the sky, the ground seems to pale in comparison to the effects I find in the sky.

Sunset No.57

5/18/12
A more somber sunset, I was interested in the foreground more than before this time.

All about the sky

Sunset No.55

Yet another overcast sunset, with a sky of pale pastel pink and violet. 

Sunset No.54

5/11/12
An overall pretty cloudy sunset with interesting pinks made of orange and white. 

Sunset No.53

5/9/12
One of the few where I painted the sky first, I usually save it for last because it changes so fast and I'm not really warmed up at first. It was a pretty clear sky with one larger cloud to the right dominating. I caught the clouds silver lining before it had faded away.

Sunset No.52

The neon greens really come out this time of year but that doesn't mean I have to paint them that way. I found allot of interest in the large tall trees to the right of the pond today. it's allot of fun and kind of frustrating painting the sky holes in trees and the tall set of trees here was a challenge. Of course most of my issues would not be but they are present because I am painting sunsets and colors, and light changes faster than any other time or scenario.

Absolutely beautiful sunset in person. Next time I'll have to remember to keep a little more paint on my pallet in order to capture the fleeting effects more deftly.

Sunset No.50

5/2/12
Today I got to paint with someone else besides myself, a foreign exchange student named Jessie from China (she recently won first place at her high school). Our sunset was cloudy and dark but still quite beautiful.

Comments welcome, and please come out and paint (Mon, Wed, Fri) around 7:30, bring mosquito repellent just in case.
