Sunsets in Texas are beautiful. I'm sure every state has beautiful sunsets, but there's nothing quite like a Texas sunset. My wife's hometown of Graham is always a fun place to hang out in the rolling countryside and get away from the city. About a year ago, we attended an outdoor wedding there. As we visited with folks, the sun began to sink in the west. I took a few random pics of the sunset and never thought much about it until I ran across them recently.

Sunset In Young County
16x20 oil on canvas |
I've never painted a sunset because it's difficult to do. It's hard to capture the brightness of the sun and the glowing colors of the sky with a darkened foreground.. I gave it a try and I was pleased that it turned out better than I thought it would. I love the old wall snaking from a path running past a rusted water tank.
The sunset reminds me of how thankful I am God gave me another day because there are no guarantees I have another tomorrow.
This painting can be seen at The Willow Cottage in Downtown Grapevine at 326 S. Main St. Their website is www.willowcottagegrapevine.com.
