Evening Colors Photo Set

Hello all,

One of my favorite times of the day is sunset - I love everything about the last moments of light before the night begins. The coolness of the air, the bright colors in the sky, and the stunning cloud shapes that are set in sharp relief to the backdrop. I enjoy both painting them and photographing them. Recently, I shared a post with my favorite sunsets from the past year in a Sunset Photo Collage:

I have had a string of colorful sunsets over the past few weeks, and I thought I would share a few of the moments that I captured with my camera.

Wave - Acrylic Abstract Painting Lesson + Feeling Inspired Linkup #22

Wave - Abstract. Acrylic on Canvas Board, 16x20in.

Hello All,

A few weeks ago, I had one of those creative days where, despite my best efforts, I couldn't seem to make progress with a landscape I was working on that afternoon. After two hours of effort, I decided that the painting was not coming together and that I would try something else. I proceed to paint an abstract, placing the following colors on my palette: Mars Black, Titanium White, Ultramarine Blue, Cadmium Orange Hue and Red Oxide.

Long story short, in thirty minutes, I created three striking abstracts in one sitting! Today, I am showcasing the second of the three: "Wave."
