New Sunset Paintings

 

It's been a while since my last blog post. Nowadays it seems like I post a lot of new work on facebook since it is so easy to post there. Feel free to look me up there.

Below are some new Imaginary sunset paintings. I've been having fun working on developing painting from my imagination. It's great practice and I'm learning some new things about myself.

I've been chasing the sunset a lot here in the valley. This is from a night of painting from the view at S Mountain. Some nights I luck out with a spectacular sunset and sometimes not so much. This was one of the better nights I think.

Decided to return to a batch of photos and paint this scene that I've had in the back of my head to paint. In this painting I learned that I could gray down my yellow without it going to green with the pile of left over white that I mixed together from a previous painting. The gray was about the same value of the yellow and it was warm so it didn't cool down the yellow to much. I've been getting in the habit of keeping piles of grays on my palette. They are really great harmonizers.
