	Sunset paintings. A celebration of the colour and light at sunset.

Painting sunset and sunrise confronts an artist with the widest range of colour, tone and light of any subject in the natural world.

The symbolism associated with light, colour and the sun itself run through every core belief of our species and make the act of painting these subjects much more than a technical exercise

Playing with fire again...


	The low angle of the sun at sunrise and sunset batter the observer with the greatest range of colours and tones that can be seen by human eyes. No other subject comes close, and attempting to paint it is a massive challenge to the observational skills and the technique of an artist.

	Oil Study for Dawn 11th September 8x10ins. Oil on Canvas Sold


	With permission, I quote from the new owner of this work......


	“How interesting that an intimate window has such a vast impact. One might suppose that to communicate a deep-breath kind of landscape experience, a canvas would have to be physically large, encompassing peripheral vision. This vast image proves that untrue; a huge space isn't dependant upon large canvas dimensions.”

	Dawn Study 6x7ins. Oil on Canvas

	Painting the sun is an aspirational thing for me ever since I was told in my secondary school that “No artist has ever painted the sun”

	This rather global statement was followed by the more practical observation that “It’s too bright”

	This intrigued me at the time and has done ever since.
