Beautiful evening for a plein air sunset by Mark H Brown



The evening afforded a fleeting moment of quiet beauty. The sun was mostly obscured by a soft grey cloud, forming a yellow/orange halo around the dark blue mass. The magenta glow below the cloud contrasted with another blue/grey cloud on the horizon that melted into the surrounding grey border hugging the north mountain.
