Tarzana Sunset © Marian Fortunati 6" x 6" Oil on Wood Panel

I am often greeted by spectacular sunsets and cloudscapes as I step outside my house and look across toward the Malibu Mountains.  On this particular evening, I was driving down the hill from my house on my way to visit with my Dad.  As I drove along, I glanced to the side and just had to pull over.  The sunset was one of a kind.... breathtaking.  I just had to stay there for a while and take it in.  It was yet another gift to those of us who looked,  from the most perfect of artists.

This is an interesting time of day.  It's not really night, but the day is really over.  It is that sort of half light that is between the two.

Painting small can be interesting and can present a different set of problems and issues than when painting large.   I think I'll work on a large painting next.   Our wet and slushy rain / snow is keeping me inside so we'll see what I can come up with next.

Enjoy your moments.
