The promise of a glorious sunset was popping. As the color brightened, I started laying in color, quickly. Sometimes, at this point, I wait a little longer for the intensity to heighten. I thought that I would simply add the color as it appeared. I really wanted to capture that almost green turquoise in that horizon, so I jumped right in. I'm so thankful that I did! That color faded in ten minutes, and no additional color rose to the occasion. If I had waited, I would have missed the moment, and that moment held a beauty all it's own. Tonight's lesson? Seize the moment! It was an honor to win a second placing among my peers in tonight's quick paint! Painting number 4639 in 4639 days.
