Sunset on Salisbury Beach



As I wrote in my previous post, I love sunsets...I also love the beach. When I first started this blog I said I'd be posting more than just pictures of my paintings and I haven't done so. SInce I have not had much time to paint, I figured I'd post this picture of a sunset I photographed at Salisbury Beach on Wednesday night. The colors were not that vivid, but the clouds were breathtaking.

Maybe someday I'll have time to paint this, but I've got to finish what I've started first. I'm still painting...trying to focus on oils and put the pastels aside for a bit. I feel I'm at a good stage with my pastel work and I'd like my oil painting skills to improve, so I have one pastel to finish and I'm going to focus on oil through the remainder of the summer and through the winter. I won't put the pastels down completely...they work very well with my lifestyle and I love using them. I'm going to try to get some work in this weekend...stay tuned!
