scotching sunset
just past rush hour
driving out of town
replaying the nothing day
looking forward to the weekend
suddenly off to the right
something shimmered
the sun sinking into the lake
filled sky and water with passion
i almost pulled over to soak it in
but knew i'd end up in tears
remembering you and the last time
i glowed that way

The spring sun is slowly sinking behind the forested hills along Lake Superior in this roadside view in Duluth, Minnesota. Reimagined and painted from a photograph by Jan Coppola.

Love the application you used on this sunset picture L/F
RC DeWinter replied:
Most kind, Linda, it's a lot of Photoshop and a couple of other layers of palettes and brushes.

What a wonderful moody sunset. I love seeing it in this light instead of the bold colors we usually see. Great mood, emotion and atmosphere. F/L

Thanks, Randy, I usually don't get to loud with these colors, glad you think it works.

The golden hues and misty shoreline and the marvelous reflections are all gorgeous! Perfection Gina. And I love the contrast with the railing and rocks in the foreground and the magical scene beyond. And the possible hint of a storm coming in the darker clouds. I want to sink into this scene. I love this. I doubt I've ever glowed like this sunset, but I love the idea. And I love how you pull multiple emotions into your work. Lest we get complacent. Beautifully done! l/f!
