What can I say? I am inspired. One of my previous posts about the brilliant sunrise above LA from an airplane sparked me to remember a sunset I watched flying west from Charlotte, NC last September. The flight left Charlotte right at sunset. Our plane was chasing the setting sun for three hours as we headed west. Needless to say, I was glued to my window for the duration of the flight, trying to form the perfect mental picture. It was so captivating; of course the in-flight movie was completely forgotten.
Yesterday at the studio I began a new painting. I wasn’t really sure how it was going to evolve as I started the piece, but my thoughts continued to wander back to that three-hour sunset from last year. Although I don’t work from photographs, I thought you might enjoy seeing some photos I took from that flight. What inspires me most is the otherworldly feeling these skies evoke.
Stay tuned... I will post some images of my most recent work in progress soon.
