Winter sunsets

Pencil and watercolor on HP watercolor paper, 10 in x 7 in

One of the things I like a lot about the Midwest in the United States are the spectacular sunsets in late fall and winter. When the temperature drops the sky make it up by giving us “hard to forget” views. I don’t know what it is but every late fall and winter this happens. The sky glows near the horizon line, almost like it is on fire, and the clouds sometimes looks like a menace to spoil this scene with their dark and mourning colors but it actually make it more beautiful, they complement each other, they are together for a reason. When I contemplate these sunsets, I renegade and wonder why it doesn’t last longer that it does, still, these simple pleasures of life are a joy to watch….and paint.
