It has been  a long time since I have worked on the sky series that was begun last year. There has been no shortage of subject matter, just shortage of my desire to paint skies in the series (small)! Then my husband sent me a photo of the sunset taken as he was leaving the Valero Open in San Antonio last night. It was the nudge I needed.

Such brilliant colors often look surreal, but I painted what I saw. When he sent the photo, I ran out to see it for myself------gorgeous!

This painting has been sitting on the floor stewing for weeks! Working to get the virga (yep, I watch the weather) just right was driving me crazy. But after letting it sit for awhile, it all came together when I got back on it.

Sunrise was delivered to Pitzer's Fine Arts today. My painting Days End sold on Wednesday, so I was thrilled to get to take another painting to the gallery!
