Still one of my favourite small paintings: Ochre Sunset

This acrylic painting shows a hazy Autumn sunset with soft yellow and pink clouds in the sky. Bright colours glow on the far horizon, while dark shadows stretch over the green landscape. ‘Ochre Sunset’ captures the brief moment when the sun sets, spreading a light mist over the hills as warm Autumn colours hang in the sky.

Could this become one of your favourites too?
