Summer Sunset, Sea Cliff Beach
watercolor, 6"x6", $35
One summer evening in July some friends and I grabbed a bottle of wine, some cheese and fruit and enjoyed each other's company with some laughs and a wonderful sunset.
I think a lot about why we insist on painting sunsets. It is nearly impossible to capture on paper or canvas the spectrum of color, luminescence and majesty. The light and shadow, reflections and subtleties change constantly. It's even difficult to accurately capture one in a photograph – for one thing, the scale is always wrong.
Still, we keep trying. But while we're trying, enjoy the magnificence with some friends whenever you can.
