Sunset landscape painting; “Twilight on the Outer Banks”

21 09 2007

Fresh off the easel is another landscape painting of my favorite time of day on the Outer Banks. The setting for this painting is again on Ocracoke Island, on a little inlet that has a small beach where you can watch the sun set.

I am really enjoying the challenge of these evening paintings. The value ranges are relatively close in most areas of the painting, so I’ve really had to pay attention to the subtle differences in values and how they relate to one another. I’m still limiting my palette, but depending on what I am painting I vary the palette colors somewhat. I’ll write more about what I’m discovering in my next entry.

That looks like the view I had from my old beach shack at MP18, alas my new house is between the highways in town so now all i see is other houses.

I was wondering would you be interested in being a guest author on my blog? Your work is just so good.

Thank you Paula-
Lucky you to have had that view! Well, at least you are still within reach of the beach. I just dream (and paint) about it between visits.

Thanks so much for the invitation to guest post. I’d be honored…just sent you a message to that effect.
