‘Sunlit Lustre’ is a 40 x 40 cm acrylic on canvas and is a softer, more impressionist painting with a lot of blending especially in the sky. I particularly like the touch of pink and peachy tones on the horizon and the light drifting upward into the the clouds and sky.

I think the touches of greys and blues give the impression of depth and atmosphere as the sunlight breaks through.

This painting definitely evolved and had several mini lives along the way before shining into ‘Sunlit Lustre’.

Each of my paintings seem to have their own final personality even if some shine at once and others wait until I get that inspiration to finally finish them.

That brief moment in time when the setting sun and descent into twilight become one.
