Sunset
“Sunset” is a simple landscape that is one of my favorite subjects to paint. As I look at the painting I picture it at dusk and that the birds are returning home. Years ago I painted a similar painting called “Heading Home”, a theme that everyone seems to relate to. Even the birds head home after the day’s end. As I look at these landscapes I feel a peaceful calm because the sun is going down in the West, and all will settle down to rest. The sky is getting...

Before I started this painting (Moonlight), I wanted to work with different colors to create a feeling of motion and depth. So with different swirls of the wax, I achieved the motion that I wanted. I painted some trees that helped give this painting some depth. There are patterns and shapes that are produced by swirling the melted wax throughout the art that also add to the motion.

I haven’t painted for a while because “life gets in the way”; (my artist’s excuse and I’m sticking with it!) but in reality we get “painter’s block” just like a writer gets “writer’s block. But hopefully, that is behind me until the next time. I had painted another painting but had no success; I felt it was too dark, so on my second attempt I decided to try light, cheerful colors, with the result being a small painting I was happy...
