Sunset Impression

Everyone at one time or another has marveled at the warm pink and orange colors of a sunset. Although colorful sunsets and sunrises can be seen anywhere, they are particularly captivating during a beach vacation.
The colors of this sunset are imaginary but the place is real, (painted from a photo).
Enjoy this visual journey and remember a beautiful vacation sunset on a beach walk.

This painting is a remake of an old painting - https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiX01oobe84fHTpgX9mjFPksQDBwGYGF12-feZJzncmvOVPgMckuYHNh4OXkihalhosrhXmeLvGnO0qWhbPyTX8-cVeEnNkz5X2Xxj4w2E8LKusLHDEmvL71h80VmFjPeXJ3SzK4gcVUdhi/s1600-h/For---web---Flash-Bubbles.jpg. The experiment was to put aside the photo and use imagination to create the painting. What do you think,.... did it work?

I began this painting before i went to India- finally got to complete it today. This is done from a photo taken at the local botanical garden . The flash captured the bubbles very well and the whole painting depicts the grace and movement of the fish.

It is cold outside and there is snow on the ground. This painting could have been done plein air- (if it was not so cold!), however this is done from a friend's photo- thanks Kathy. It is a scene of Groton, MA a few days ago. this is probably my last post for the year so - Happy New Year everyone.
