Sunset Sprinklers


oil on canvas paper 12"x16"

We were sitting outside one evening enjoying a cold drink after a hot day, watching the glorious colors spreading across the sky, when all of a sudden the sprinklers came on to water the lawn and the water picked up the colors of the sky and wowed us with it's brilliance.

This painting doesn't do justice to the moment, and I see I should have put more color into the spray of the sprinklers, but it was a challenge to see if I could capture the moment in paint and to a certain extent I think I succeeded.
