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.

Sunset No.128

A colorfull glassy sky that I painted thickly with exagerated brushstrokes. The pink ribon touching the tree tops was the highlight for me.
