Some paintings come together nicely and at times, without too much effort - this was not one of them!! I saw this scene some time ago one evening when the setting sun broke through a dark layer of clouds creating a stunning vision. My initial attempt looked okay but seemed to be missing something. That was when the real work started - trying to capture on canvas what I had seen and envisioned in my mind. t think I must have repainted the sky at least three times, the foreground twice, but finally I got close to what I had hoped it would look like and I am calling it done. I still find it difficult to decide if I should give up on a painting, or whether is it worth the effort of repainting it in the hope that it finally works out in the end. Thankfully it was in this one. Size is 8 x 10 inches, oil on canvas.
