After leaving my friend Goedele’s birthday party the sunset light on the beautiful pasture land of Norwood was extraordinary — particularly with the dark stormy clouds in the background and the sun just slipping under the blanket of clouds.

…on our deck enjoying a beautiful July evening. I wanted this painting to be as much about the sky as the mountains and foreground so I chose a vertical format so I could capture the beautiful Monsoon clouds.

Week 43, Petunias and Quimper

•July 2, 2011 • Leave a Comment
