Harsh Sunset


And another hour goes by. And another day, according to my latest sploshing of colour for #WorldWatercolorMonth – my eighth now, in eight days! I think some of the blending of the colours in this attempt is OK, but some are shockingly terrible. The land on the horizon still needs work, and the clouds need touching up just a tad. The water looks like parched land – well, that’s how it looks around here at the moment – a little too solid for water, but I can live with that… even though it’s meant to be water. The seagulls indicate water is around somewhere – we can pretend we are out to sea looking into land, instead of looking across a wide bay somewhere.

It’s a good thing the imagination can step in when needed!

      Other people have said the same to me, Beverly. I think it looks a little too solid, but maybe that is just me!

    You are too critical of your talent Tom. It looks very much like water to me. Your colors are alive.

    It’s a good piece Tom, you don’t paint a photograph, you paint with imagination and flare! 🙂

    God Bless!

      That is so very true, Prenin. And I don’t want to paint a photograph, so I will bear that in mind in the future.
