No, I could NOT resist that amazing sunset tonight as we disbanded from our Fairfield PaintOut meeting! I tried to persuade my artist friends to stay, but one by one they fell away to get to their host homes. I simply could not leave, so I quickly sketched out the scene with a pastel stick on a gessoed board. I still had plenty of sunset color in the sky so I quickly set up my easel and slapped on paint as quickly as possible, first the darks then that fabulous color that was still fresh in my mind, though fading in the sky. I won't know until tomorrow how it really looks, when I take it out of my trunk! It was super fun and I'm so glad I stayed to capture it in oil! Painting number 5012 in 5012 days.
