Sunset No.141

What was once thought of as the last sunset, turned out to be a clear sky with a few small clouds of baby blue and grey. Every sunset has been beautiful in its own way, and I'm sure the last will be no exception.

Sunset No.140

It's difficult to find anything but flatness in a sky as dark as today's. Slight bands of color appeared in the sky after I stared and looked long enough, and street lights illuminated small bits of atmosphere bellow.

Sunset No.139

A cold dark sunset offset by a beautiful blanket of grey clouds overhead, and a warm glow seeping in from bellow.

Sunset No.138

A dim sunset but not an ugly one. The rustic colors of the Florida foliage was apparent and accompanied the ripples in the water just right.

Sunset No.137

The sun has moved all the way back to where it was when I started, behind the group of three trees. Now that the sun sets in front of me the motif of glowing foliage is possible but nearly impossible to look at and discern.

Sunset No.136

Glowing clouds hovered over the clump of three trees and bushes. Another cold evening sunset brings me closer to the end of the project.

Sunset No.135

A calm and cold evening with dense grey clouds blanketing the sky. A touch of color and light came from a different source this time, the street lights in the distance.

Sunset No. 134

Arriving late but not wanting to do a five minute painting I realized a new way of working. Intense analyzation of the scene for its colors, shapes and feelings, but just for the moment before its dark. Then I paint as long as I feel I need to, pulling from the snapshots in my mind.

Sunset No.133

A slit in the sky allowed some color through as I quickly dashed in the changing clouds. 

Sunset No.132

The quick fading orange glow was elusive as can be. Memory is my friend on these days as I try to recall certain instances of color and light after they are gone.

Sunset No.131

Ariving a the end of the sunset, I found interesting effects of burning light on the dark clouds over head.

Sunset No.130

As the weather continues to bring colder temperatures I was given another bleached sky. Beautifully bleached and kissed by orange and yellow, the edges of the distant tree line glowed in a magical way.

Sunset No.129

Peeking into the setting sun out of the corner of my eyes as it ascends bellow the distant tree line is no easy task. As I tried to capture the fleeting blast of light and color, I found myself taking mental notes, in order to capture a more complete and comprehensive investigation.
