Another Lovely Evening

The commuters are on their trains, in their regular seats, snuggled against the window with their iPods lulling them into a lovely state of being.  It's evening again, another lovely one, at that.  

I spent a few hours making sky paintings to day. I enjoy the process and am always rewarded with a little gem amongst them.

The sky that evening dispersed its color with such abandon that I had to check to make sure that it was only the setting sun and not a raging fire giving off that kind of light.  

I love to paint skies with this much color and motion. Of course, as I've said before, it shows better in person — has more depth and variety.

There aren't too many evenings when the sky hands us a platter of primary colours, but this evening was one of them. I enjoyed the brief moments of this show of colour before dark.

I had these colors on my palette and wanted to use them before they crusted-over. It's a pretty dramatic red, yellow, blue sky painting.  One I'll add to my collection.

Waiting For A Storm

My friend spent his vacation time one year chasing tornadoes.  He focused his passion and attention on Texas, where there are big skies with big storms. This was not one of the sought-after skies he was there to photograph, but a colorful one that he shared with me.

 I have a couple of other larger pieces in the works, so here's another sky for the meantime.

Lighting the Way

The grasses on the slope blew in the breeze while we hiked toward the top of the hill. What was on the other side would be a surprise to me and my friend. Neither of us had been here before. 

 Here's another sky for my composite piece.  Of course they are for sale individually, as well.
