‘Smouldering Embers of the Passing Day’
From the Series: Kapiti Sunsets: Pixels and Paint Series
When the sun is right on the horizon, as it is here, the sunset is most likely to contain the deep reds which dominate this image. The light has to travel a greater distance from the horizon to the viewer causing the blue and violet light to scatter.
The rich reds remind me of glowing embers: flameless, smouldering combustion – emitting clouds of wispy smoke. This is the effect I have tried to represent in the painting.
It is as if the embers are slowly burning away the remains of the day to ashes, from which the night will form and the new day will spring.
