Erin's Pleasant Skies

Erin's Pleasant Skies is a commissioned oil painting illustrating a soothing balance of soft greens and blues with the warm intense colors of a summer evening in August. Painting this was a fun challenge since I did not have a photo of the sunset. So I had to draw from my memory the many beautiful Maine sunsets that I have witnessed over the years. I used my life experiences and observation skills from Plein air painting to recreate in the studio how this end of daylight may have looked when viewed from the causeway in Bridgton, Maine. My inspiration was to create a painting that might transport the viewer to a calm, inviting place.
