New paintings and regular art updates.
Woven sunsets. Duplicated, symmetrical, flipped and rotated in the Incollage app on my phone. It’s hard to know when to stop. But it’s oddly satisfying to play with patterns.
I have a tenancy to create a lot of these, I guess I’m “pushing the envelope” a bit, but only certain patterns with minimal details work X
The clouds shone like copper tonight, not red or gold. This is the closest I can get to the colour like in this photo. I’m still looking out for a view of the comet that’s in the evening sky after sunset when it’s clear, but I haven’t spotted it yet.
I wish I could have taken a photo of the actual sunset but I was driving and my camera was in the handbag on the back seat and I couldn’t find anywhere to stop. I will try and look again tomorrow
As the sun set the clouds rolled in
Underlit by red sunlight
Boiling like a pot of shrimp?
But really calmly moving.
The nights are lengthening
Sunset comes earlier
Darkness encompasses us
I yearn for spring.
When the sun starts to return.
Sun setting, clouds arrive, leaves are still green.
Symmetrical pattern of view out my back door.
Clouds about 9pm 17.7.24 in Stoke on Trent, England.
Sun was starting to set and the light made the clouds sparkle. I don’t know what type of clouds they are, but I liked the view.
I keep seeing posts on Facebook about the earth being flat. So I thought for a few minutes and posted this…. . If the earth was flat the sun would set AT THE SAME TIME EVERYWHERE. There would be no time zones. New years eve would be celebrated at the same time everywhere. Clocks would all be set to the same time. If you live in a big country like America the sun would rise and set at the same time, so you wouldn’t need Eastern standard time and pacific time or whatever it’s called. THERE WOULD BE NO SEASONS, AND THE TEMPERATURE WOULD BE THE SAME ALL OVER THE WORLD. If the Earth is a globe and tipped you get seasons. If it’s a globe and not tipped, no seasons, flat earth? No seasons, no gradient in temperature. And the sun would rise and set at exactly the same time every day… Sorry rant over.
Looking out over a supermarket car park.
The sky had clouded over, but there was a glow from the setting sun behind the grey clouds. It just shows that a minimal landscape can be enhanced by light and colour. There is blue and grey, orange and yellow, purples and blacks all intermingling and changing by the minute.
For once it wasn’t raining, it wasn’t cold, and it wasn’t windy. You could stand and watch the atmosphere evolve as the sun set. It’s not a very exciting sunset, but I enjoyed it.
In a gallery
But looking outside
Fresh green against brick red
Daylight catches the wall
As sun starts to set.
Always look outside the box
The view might change
Your thoughts too….
Chances are
You’ll see something new.
Outside our back door this evening. The sky looked pinker than this to my eyes, but I have to go with what the camera shows. Out anemometer on the weather station was spinning round merrily in the gusty wind (it was almost a dark and stormy evening!) it’s not linked in with the station in the house as the batteries are dead! I do like the salmon pink sky. I wish we lived on the sunny side of the hill.
Westport lake. A splendid place to visit is one of our local reservoirs. It helps supply the Trent and Mersey canal. In winter when the trees and bushes are skeletal the warm glow of a sunset can make it seem anything but cold. Pleasant memory of a walk with my hubby.
