Who among us can not appreciate the effects created by the sun. Having stood at the ocean's edge with groups to watch the sun set, I have been in total awe of the speed and the beauty of the sun "sinking" into the water's edge. I am assured by the applause around me that I am not alone in this appreciation. I hope in this painting that I have created a feeling for the power of light on our earth. As a painter, I am always aware of lights and darks(values). I hope that you will take time to look at all of the elements around you- lights and darks, colors, textures, shapes and lines. Take time to study how they all work together to make interesting visual images for you .

Enjoy your mornings, your afternoons and your nights!
