Landscape again.

I've been wanted to paint this scene for long time but I never did before. My husband, Bob took me for a long drive 4 years ago and we were there on the way to Boston Bar. I've already painted one of the scenes, " C.N. Rail near Boston Bar" right after we went there.

It was early summer and no one was there. So quiet and beautiful. Yes, very typical B.C. VIEW! But I love it!! So I thought I'd better start painting this since I feel like I still have unfinished business. Now I DID.

The 6th and maybe the LAST

It's been more than a month after I came back from Japan for the second time in this year because of my mother's emergency call.

I've already started another"sunset from my window"painting before I went to Japan.
The first one I painted in 2011, then painted 4 more different versions last couple years.

I thought I did enough but only one more scene I still wanted to complete or I mean added.
I'd painted this scene once and surprisingly it was sold. But I was only half happy because I thought I could paint better one.

So I started painting again. And this is my 6th sunset scene from my window and the last, I guess.

This beautifully glowing mountains, only happens at the end of winter or early spring. The mountains have to covered with snow and there shouldn't be NO clouds in the sky and I have to look at it at the certain timing. Of course trees are much shorter than mountains. But through my window, mountains are always behind trees. I love to see this scene again!
