Twenty-five Minutes before Sunset

Literally, was sitting as the desk and noticed the cast of the light, grabbed the box and ran out past the car park. The skies were gorgeous and just slapped paint down. A friend staying a few days snapped a pic of my box because he thought it mirrored the painting.

Endless Night, Atlantic shore

Spent last weekend at Annie's beach house. Out walking the dogs it was cold, was happy for the flannel-lined jeans, (been calling them my "plein air pants"). On this evening, a front laying low off over the ocean created a band of darkness that seemed beyond black. Somewhere in that, between the relative bright of the surf and the blued night sky, hovered a horizon line but it was impossible to discern. I thought to take a reference photo, it came out simply black, so this was done from memory.

Been Busy

This was a small painting started the last evening, thurs but finished a few days later.
