Sunset's Autumn Glow

Every sunset is like a poem of reflections on the day as it ends. The silhouette formed by the synergy between light and landscape of this sunset created a luminous glow that split across many of the foreground trees and made a spectacular focal point of color and value contrast to paint. A grisaille underpainting was used to maintain the value structure on such a tight contrast of colors. Mediums used were gamsol, linseed oil along with oil colors.
