Sunset No.75

A late sunset with clear skies. The sky reminded me of a watercolor painting with it's pinks and violets.

Purchase information

Because of the recent interest, I just wanted to write a quick note for those who may be interested in purchasing a sunset painting!

Right now the intention of the project is to see it to the end and then have all of the paintings shown as an instillation, an entire years worth of sunsets.

Because of the nature of the project and the intention to show it as an instillation eventually, I cannot sell any of the sunsets on the site. If you are interested in purchasing a sunset, I can do a copy of one for you, or take a commission to paint you an original sunset!

Thanks everyone who has expressed interest in purchasing a sunset painting, and please consider commissioning an original sunset for your own collection!

Sincerely,
Noah Verrier

Sunset No.74

A beautifully clear day. I had been entrenched in looking at the watercolors of Sargent so I attempted a quick and deliberate approach limiting overworking and starting with a warm off white under painting.

Sunset No.73

Painting during a tropical storm "Debbie" was a challenging experience especially since water and oil don't mix. The finished painting isn't much of a detailed recall of what was there but I did make an impression of how it was, rainy, wet, strong winds, and unmanageable conditions. Inevitably water fell on both the panel and the pallet making it near impossible for the paint to adhere or mix. I got a  quick impression before conditions got worse and I quickly packed up in order to salvage what I had.

Sunset No.72

A grey cloudy sunset. I painted the interesting glow that hung behind the clouds in the upper right of the sky. So many things I've learned from this project; like patience and also not to be afraid to fail because there is always another chance.

Sunset No.71

Such subtle colors and nuances lately it has made my job more difficult. I did my best to capture a washed out sky scattered with awkward clouds.

Sunset No.70

I expanded from my recent compositions and painted more greenery. The bland sky dictated my choice of composition, it was a nice change of pace.
