El Sol

I’ve a fair few paintings of suns, so I put the title in Spanish for this one. Down on Garryvoe Beach, tide way out, and the setting sun over Ardnahinch, casting its long rays over the rock banks.
Dazzling Sun, Shadowy Hawthorn

I had painted direct sunlight a few times before but I wanted something more impressive and eye-catching. I like the composition of the sun and it’s rays balanced on the other side by the dark hawthorn and its branches. And the clouds and long grasses picking up on the light in between.
Sunset – Sold

Painted on a small board, 10 inches x 8 inches, over 3 days in November, 2010. I like painting sunsets. Sold.
Rainy Sunset in the Strand Field – Sold

Introduced some florescent red and yellow to my palette to give the corn more of a sunlit brilliance. The view is looking east into the rain and rainy clouds, the sun is setting behind the viewer so there was a strange atmosphere of sunlight and rain. Sold.
