| Sunset XIII March 24, 2014 Oil on canvas |
A still evening painting session at the edge of Rock Creek Park beside Candy Cane City yesterday. The sun had just dipped behind the trees by the time I set up: it was creating a white-violet scrim over the clear blue sky, the sky didn't show any sign of the snow forecast for today. Two trees ground the painting and divide the composition, but the atmosphere is what I am trying to emphasize like the other paintings in my earlier posts.
Did you see Sunday's sunset?!

| An awesome variety of colors in the clouds |
 |
| The branches of this ash tree turned red |
 |
| The color transitions in the sky go from violet to yellow to blue |
Keep your eyes peeled for colors in the clouds.
