Painting a subject that you have not attempted previously is often not what you expected. This is a dramatic sunset that I photographed in Costa Rica; I expected to spend a long time on it but I found that I did not want to disturb the strokes of paint that I put into the sky so I left it alone. Since the water had been painted first, then all I had remaining to paint was the sailboat and finally the sun.

I would like to try more of these but would like to be outdoors looking at the event as it happens and try to capture it. I guess it doesn't hurt to practice so I'll be ready next time I get a chance to paint the sunset.

There was plenty of light still left on this peaceful evening and the sky was soft with pink and blue. It would later become more dramatic while I sat on the porch at the Inn and looked up from my book once in awhile.

This was a magical summer with many great memories. Hope you have some of those, too.

I love the colors in these feathers almost as much as I love the eyes. These birds are so beautiful and  strong looking.  They look calm and confident because they are wise. This one is ready for Halloween in five more days.
