This red sky painting was completed before yesterday's post. While I started yesterday's painting first, I felt that it was not working so I began to paint this image. I completed it and then returned to the red sky painting that I posted yesterday. This painting is a little more straight forward in its subject and does not invite as much participation on the part of the viewer. As always, when painting things that are similar in subject matter, I find myself comparing the works. One Christmas I decided to give my daughter and daughter-in-law a painting similar to one that hangs in my kitchen. My daughter had stated that she really liked it. I decided that I could not paint two because when the first picked her painting the other would feel that they got the lesser of the two. My solution- I painted three. They each, therefore, had a choice. The remaining painting was sold to someone outside of the family.
