These sunset paintings are a real challenge for me but I'm having fun with them. My goal for  the 30 paintings in 30 days challenge is to paint looser and I think I'm getting better at that. The challenge for the next few days will be finding time to paint.

A view of rolling Ohio farms. Very soon now there will be a lot more color here as the leaves turn to beautiful oranges and reds. It has been dry for a while, which usually translates into more fall color.

This is a scene from the desert in Southern California.

All I have to say is, clouds are difficult to paint. It might be like trying to paint snowflakes.

The reference photo for this painting was taken one evening while I was driving by the airport in winter.

Another Ohio farm sunset. Watching the sunset from the farm was a real treat since we are closed in by trees. We don't see sunrises (and honestly I wouldn't get up early enough) or sunsets unless we are out driving.

No drama here but still fun to paint. At this point I am trying to do two paintings a day to get caught up.

30 Paintings In 30 Days Day One

I decided at the last minute to join a painting challenge for September. At first I wasn't going to do it because my painting time has been limited lately. But I decided to do as many paintings as I can and be happy with the outcome. I chose skyscapes  and landscapes to take myself out of my comfort zone of always painting still lifes. I also want to loosen up and paint a little faster. This is my first painting but haven't had time to post until now.
