Day 8: a quick sunset

Sunset painting
A fleeting sunset, 15x10cm, oil on canvas. Available on Etsy.

This was a very quick attempt to capture a sunset in action. They change so much from moment to moment, every time I mixed a color it was obsolete a minute later. Still, a fun exercise. I have a stack of these tiny 10x15cm stretched canvases, and I’ve never known what to do with them. Perhaps the answer is to keep them by the window, so they’re ready the next time a good sunset comes along.

  1. This is rather pretty — I like sunsets — and the ones that I witnessed in Scotland (well… the Shetland Islands) were amazing. (Not that the rest of Scotland wasn’t bad, either….)
