Almost Sundown

24x36, acrylic on canvas

Sunrise and sunsets are special times of day. I love the quiet sense of peace many sunsets bring. It's been too hot to sit out and really enjoy lately, but always watch the sky and try to mark the moment of another day passed.

Here on Marco Island, sunset is often celebrated by a quick trip to the beach, particularly Resident's Beach. It was there, that accompanied by friends, I once, only once, saw the "green flash." Sometimes there's a sing-along at the boardwalk, and sunset itself is accompanied by a rousing rendition of "God Bless America."
