Where did the last month go? It's been so long since I posted here and now the summer is over.
8x24 oil
This past weekend I participated in the Chincoteague Plein Air event for the fourth consecutive year.
"Summer's End: was one of 7 paintings that I did during the 3 day event
which ended in a Saturday evening sale. I brought this unusual size
canvas with the intent of painting a beach scene but decided to use it
for the sunset on the Wildlife Refuge. I had to work quickly to capture
the changing colors in the sky. It did not take long before it was too
dark and I could no longer see my work. As soon as the sun went down
the mosquitoes came out and chased me away. I finished the painting
that evening in my hotel room from memory.

Absolutely Stunning!
Lovely painting Julie. You were brave to race against the setting sun. I chickened out in MV last week and just took photos. The camera never captures the true beauty.
Thanks Sue and Mary Beth! You should try painting the sunset - it's fun!
