Sky's On Fire

Talk about a tough one.  I learned that no matter how much paint you slather on the canvas you just cannot get that brilliant glow that nature provides.  Here is my effort at painting last night's sunset.

Below is my photo reference, you see the difference, the more I changed it the worse it got.

  1. I love it. I just think you need to deepen the colors and it will be fine!

  2. I had the same problem painting the pink ice plants by the ocean out here. I finally darkening everything around it and it popped a little more.
