I’m in the seventh year of painting every sunset – starting January 1, 2006 – having painted many before that, from June 1995. 

Most of the sunsets are seen 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 sunsets, there are also the red paintings and Open Market, plus the Moment & Horizon Facebook page and Twitter.

Thank you for visiting.

The one you did last week is now “maybe not really so bad.” The one you come across from a few years ago: “Oh, I never realized how much I like this!”
