Just Before Dark, Watercolor on Arches, 12" x 9"


The setting sun paints all the trees here in brilliant orange.
It has been a week of sunshine and mystery.
A very interesting February.

    1. Thank you. I think we share favorite colors. I've been loving these sunsets. Today the scenery was completely changed by a light snowfall - with a very cold lake. If it warms up again quickly there will be fog. And very different colors.

  2. So pretty! The trees glow with that magical light. I like the transition of gold to brown too.

    1. Thank you. Yeah, that light is really something. The transition is actually from the golden color to a muted grey violet. (Sadly, subtle colors are so transitory from screen to screen on line.) These sunsets have been so wonderful.

  3. Certains naufrages nous révèlent êtes de feu et de passion capables d'embraser un trio d'arbres presque morts et de leur redonner la sève, le goût de vivre jusqu'au prochain printemps. Ta peinture me raconte tout cela.
    Belle journée à toi, Sharon
    Amicalement.

  4. I really like this painting! The the design is great. I am always attracted to bare trees and the negative shapes formed by their branches. I understand about the different screen resolutions and how it effects the colors. Everyone gets a different value and color range. However, I like what I see on my display.

    1. Hello Eva, and Thank You! And you're right about screen resolutions, values and color range. Happy to hear this looks fine.

      I am sorry it's taken me so long to reply. This week I am having big problems with Blogger's Comment functions. They have changed their system and it's not working for me.

    1. Thank You, Elena.

      I have been left 'comment-less' due to Blogger's new system. Sorry about that. I am having some luck today, about 25% of the time. Hoping this improves quickly.
