Description

This was my third painting on canvas after that first sky mural.  I decided to push the boat out and try a sunset.  Oh my goodness it was challenging!  This painting was an important learning experience for me.  I learned how incredibly complex sunset clouds are.  They are full of volume, blending, color shifts, heaviness, lightness – oh, they are beautiful!  But wow it was tricky to learn to paint that convincingly.  I was originally attracted to this image because it was so peaceful, warm and calm.  My heart wanted to sing when I looked at it.  Eventually that feeling came out in the painting, and I was so thankful when it did.
