“Skyline Sunset” soft pastel on Pastelmat, 7″ x 9.5″, 2026
This piece was inspired by a quiet moment looking over a quantity of sunset images in various urban areas that were shared with me (or taken by me) over recent years. Rather than a copy of any one of those, this piece seeks to capture a certain quality of cities and sunrises.
This piece was painted using Blue Earth, Sennelier, and Henri Roche pastels, and is available for sale.
Plein air on a recent visit to the Oregon Coast. I was fortunate to have a great view of the sunset from my balcony.
Reflecting on the recent drive to the coast on my last painting getaway, I worked from the recollection of the drive, similar other sunset drives, and the view of a sunset in-progress from the balcony of my hotel room. It was a fun quick piece that I did while the sunset flared to full vividness, and finished as it faded.
