Only At Sunset (My World) - Original Oil Painting

Canvas size 20x16 (overall framed size is approximately 28x24)

I would watch the sunsets—
As often as I could
Helping me forget—
Or at least—
Wondering if I should

The sunsets were the only thing—
Something to remind me
When I was king—
Or so it seemed—
And you were my queen

During those days of wonder—
The two of us one
The spell we were under—
And how it felt—
It felt as if—
Life had just begun

Each sunset so splendid—
Cascading with pure grace
My heart would surrender—
And the only thing—
The only thing more beautiful—
Was your beautiful face

Many suns have now set—
Years of many now gone
Still never a single regret—
As I sit her alone—
Alone with you—
Proud to be the one you chose

I miss you

A spectacular sunset, with a row of trees lining the background, and two standing alone in a field with a fence behind them. The remaining bit of sunlight is just barely peering through the line of trees before it turns in for the evening.

I’ve been working with a palette knife on most of my previous paintings, and I wanted to use a brush on part of this painting to get the crazy, colorful sunset that I was after. I decided to stick with the brush for most of the painting except for the two large trees. These were done with a heavy impasto effect that almost give the bark a realistic look. I then used a brush once again to finalize some of the minute details of the smaller branches.

The frames that I use for my art are just important to me as the art itself. The frame compliments the art, just as much as the art compliments the frame. This frame is probably one of the most perfect matches I’ve found yet. The two just blend so well together. I’m extremely happy with the way the whole piece turned out.
