this was taken in the beginning of the month. i wonder why i didn't notice this shot. i didn't adjust the colour, but this looks something like apocalyptic, it's like toronto is burning.
no time to take a photo. i was once again at the office and i didn't realize that Christmas is next friday! how did we get here so suddenly? we thought the year would never end and look we're just shy of two weeks and it's over. not that we won't be carrying COVID to the next year, but hopefully it would not be so bad or as bad as this year.
i asked a young girl at the office (a close friend as we are on the same wavelength when it comes to work, work ethics, etc.) what she would like for Christmas and so she's laid claim to my 'grungy door' painting. she's quite happy and very surprised. i sent my boss and her boss a picture and my boss couldn't believe that "it's very good", even more so when i told him it took me only 2 nights to paint it. so the lucky girl is coming on the weekend to pick up her Christmas present.
The photograph is amazing. You should try and replicate it in paint. Or print it and frame it. I would do that if it were mine.
As for the girl, lucky her. And i find it so nice of you to make a present of it, especially since you said you would make it yours. It is a great painting, obviously painted with great joy and it will therefore bring a lot of joy to your wavelength friend.
I agree with @monikozi this, too, would make a fabulous painting! You are so generous to gift your workmate with your other painting. I have the same panic moment about Christmas being next week! I always feel like I have prepared with plenty of time and then all of a sudden it’s up on me before I know it!
@30pics4jackiesdiamond@summerfield I know I will regret this, but I was thinking to suggest we paint this picture, in whatever medium we wish. I said I will regret this, because i don;t think that the gradient will be too easy, without getting a green sky...
no timeframe. of course, if anyone else cares to join, no objection (i have seen quite beautiful drawings around here). and, if either of you don;t wish to do it, that's just fine. or if you have another suggestion, just shoot.
as for myself, i am not going to paint this immediately. but i plan to do so as soon as possible. (just because I am lazy and afraid of the result - instead of starting it and see what comes out... )

Vikki I've downloaded this for future reference.
I'm off to Google how to - vibrant sunset in watercolour
i'm on board, but like you, not right away. that blending of the sky is a little bit intimidating.
i know i will have a hard time doing that!

As i said: I'm scared of that sky gradient. :) and i think the red shoes is quite fine too.
