Sunset, Saturday, 27 June 2009

Stony Point, Albemarle County, Va. Oil on paper, 16 x 20.

I don’t need this picture to be worth a thousand words, maybe just 200 or so, since I don’t have many word-words tonight, just these color-words.

I waited past ‘sunset’ to get this sky, and then, as sometimes happens, the sky went completely berserk with color. I sketched that one and may give it a shot tomorrow.

Speaking of second versions, I had actually done, in quick succession, two versions of the solstice sunset from June 21st. I’ve parked the alternate June 21st sunset at the end of the June calendar in the archive.
