Sunrise
Sunset
Light in the Darkness
There was a fourth, too, a moonrise, but that wound up with relatives. All of these are old, but I figure I might as well post them to build up posts while I have the images on my computer. People are sometimes interested to see how an artist's skill progresses over time. Sunrise was the first picture I used handground oils in, and that had to be from maybe eight years ago. Sunset was an experiment with megilp a year or so later. Light in the Darkness was much later and done with Groves' Cole's Copal. You can see the potential religious interpretation in that one: "when I fall, I shall arise; when I sit in darkness, the Lord shall be a light unto me." Some lights are best seen in the dark. All ended up being pendants to each other and are each oil on panel, and 6 by 6 inches. I try to not paint a sunset without also painting a sunrise.
