Keeping an eye to the sky, I prepared dinner. Everything about painting a sunset involves timing. I put the fresh vegetables in the oven to roast, and popped out to the pasture to catch the sunset! I should have been out there 5 minutes sooner. The light was soft and fading. I am making an effort to capture the sunset in all of it's moods, so I brushed in the masses with my very limited palette. I really should add another color or two to make the most of the fleeting light - if I am to continue painting sunsets! I had a little trouble with only Indian yellow, perm crimson and ultramarine blue! I would have loved some Naples yellow pale and a little alizarin crimson. This painting makes 1461 in 1461 days :)
