Ice and Water
9x10.5
acrylic on board
I have't spent much time at the pond at sunset as my long walks with Cally typically were in the morning. It's been a cold/snowy/rainy/dreary March for the most part and I've been in hibernation mode-hence no post for a few weeks. Last week I managed to catch the sun just after it dipped below the horizon and silhouetted the far shore, taking my breath away. There was still some ice and I think that enhanced the picture and I couldn't resist. It was fun to work on a board using acrylics. The surface is shiny now and I'm pleased with the results. Usually I resist a sunset as nature does such a good job that paintings tend to look trite. What do you think?
