Weekly Painting #5 - Fire in the Sky

Last Thursday's sunset was spectacular. It seemed like something exploded and the whole sky was on fire. I was in a hurry to run some errands but couldn't resist getting out of the car to take some quick iPhone clicks. The colors lasted so long. There was a pink hue everywhere after sunset and it was magical. I couldn't resist painting it this week.

Here is a painting of the sunset as seen from my front yard.

Twilight Creek - Oil Painting

A very Happy Newyear to the blog readers. I am grateful for all your visits and comments.

Here is the first blog painting for 2012 ( though technically it is my last painting of 2011 ). Inspired by the soft autumn twilight sky and it's reflections on a rocky creek. And done with water soluble oil on a 16 X 20 canvas. Hope you like it :)
