I had to remind myself not to get trapped into trying to “paint what I see” (whatever that could possibly mean), but also to account for the west wind just coming around to the north, and the day cooling down with a high lifting sky oddly like a summer evening at the beach, and the million and one things you can’t know with your eyes.

Half angels’ breath and half motorcycle fumes. More or less.

This view is shifted around to the north where the light was breaking through, a little bit away from the sunset proper, over nearby Piney Mountain.
