Moment & Horizon begins with each day’s sunset. I’ve painted every sunset for over six years – since January 1, 2006 – and many before that, from June 1995.
Most of the sunsets are painted from the same vantage point, facing the Blue Ridge, in Virginia, north of Charlottesville. Otherwise I paint the sunset view from wherever I happen to be. Even if painted later from a sketch, these paintings are done “alla prima” in around the same time it takes to watch the sun go down.
In addition to the sunsets, there are also the red paintings and Open Market, plus the Moment & Horizon Facebook page and the posting of each sunset on Twitter.
Thank you for visiting.
