OIL ON GESSOBORD

This is an eastern sky with the western sunset reflecting on the cloud to cause this brilliant color. I'm sure this happens all the time but I have just not noticed before. Now I am constantly looking skyward and thinking about how I would paint it and what colors to use.

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.

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.
