If you can't watch it - Paint it

Sunset:  A nightly masterpiece painted in the sky for all to see, yet missed by most.

Over the past couple years I have done everything in my power to not miss the sunset.  I try and clear my schedule, get to place where I can see, and sit and watch the masterpiece unfold.  The sunset is the most relaxing, and beautiful thing I have ever experienced.  It has a way of making me forget about the chaos around me, and focus in on something far more beautiful; and the best part about it - no matter how many times I watch it, it can still take my breath away. (Now find me a guy that can do that!!! haha jk)

So what do I do when the clouds cover the sunset?  I paint it!! :)  I have tried painting the sunset sooo many times, and every time it feels like a fail.  There is something about the beauty of the sunset that can't be caught in a picture or with a brush.  This past weekend I again attempted to paint the sunset.  It may not have come out exactly how I wanted, but it ended up being a beautiful sunset regardless!


I plan on watching the sunset many more times in my life... and I am sure, I will again attempt to paint it; because if the sunset doesn't already sooth the soul enough, painting it sure does.  :)
