Most of the skyscapitos shown here were made after
the Solstice. This time of year, I have more opportunities to sketch both
sunrise and sunset colors because they appear at convenient times. Although we’ve
had a mostly wet, cold winter so far, occasional “sun breaks” have been brief
reprieves from the gray and rain. I watch for them whenever I can.
The continually shifting bands of light and color give me a workout, but when I stick with the tiny format (no larger than 3 inches), it’s
a realistic challenge.

ReplyDeleteThanks -- glad you like them!
DeleteI really like these! The ones with the blues and soft orange are my favorites.
ReplyDeleteThose are probably the colors I see most often in our sky!
