Sunset, Friday, 8 January 2010
Something like the big blue sky of high summer, today we had our version of high winter – deep and unforgiving, more wind than sky. Strangely, evening on such a day often brings a huge gold sun and then a band of violet-rose. The colors seem so close to spring, in general, the artist has to look to the temperature of his paints, or the picture may resemble a Parisian twilight in an old ad for Guerlain. Which might not be so bad.
Traveling for a couple of days – sunsets for Saturday and Sunday may not show up here until Monday.
