I had a true painting marathon on the day I did this painting, leaving the house at 7am and not returning until after 8:30pm. It was a fabulous day of great weather and beautiful scenery in Cold Spring, New York, along the banks of the Hudson River. I can well understand why some of the Hudson River School painters loved to paint from this very spot; I love to paint here too!

This was the last one of the day—attempting to catch the fleeting sunset colors during the few minutes before the light faded into darkness. There’s never enough time to “finish” one when painting sunsets on location. It’s really a matter of grabbing color as it emerges, and hoping for the best!

Had to stop… love your painting… the sky is so colourful…Wow

Sylvia, thank you! Sunrises and sunsets on location are the most “it and miss”paintings for me. You never know when you’re going to get a good one, and then everything goes by so fast. I’m glad you feel this one was a “hit”. 🙂

Lovely!!! The sunset is so beautiful! It’s still too cold for me to think about painting outdoors. You must be made of stronger stuff. lol

Something to say?
