Sunset No.101

(Wednesday Aug 30)
Another volatile sky welcomed my paints and I. A small crack in the center of the sky running horizontal threatened to disappear but ended up staying long enough for me to capture it.

Sunset No.100

A stormy sunset, cold and rainy. A clip light was necessary in order to see my pallet and painting. capturing the light that remained partially hidden beneath the dense blue grey clouds was my main objective.

Sunset No.99

The beautiful billowing storm clouds in the distance caught the light of the setting sun in the last moments of the day. One can only hope to do justice to such an amazing spectacle of awesome beaty.

Sunset No.98

An unbelievable large cloud came in from the right as soon as I arrived. Amazingly enough no rain fell, but after a few minutes the wind started blowing and it got dark almost instantly. What you see is my attempt at capturing moments that were quick amidst looming disaster.

Sunset No.97

A thin fog seemed to cover the air, but as time passed a pink glow began to shine through.

Sunset No.96

A calm grey cloud hovered over the landscape creating an interesting motif. Again the light gently flooded in from the right creating a soft glow. An interesting week, of note is the fact that I am using a very transparent lead white giving this group a certain look.

Sunset No.95

This was a fun one for me, unlike any other I've done thus far, It was a well needed departure from the norm. I'll have to get better at portraying brilliant colors quickly before they are gone. I definitely had a hard time with the neon pink clouds, but I'll use what I learned and do better next time.
