| Couple Strolling at Sunset |
I'm not sure if the sunsets were more beautiful in Aruba, or if we were just making more time to enjoy them. As the sun got lower, gold atmospheric wisps of moisture would fill the sky every night. These low swift moving clouds obscured the sun dropping to the horizon line, and made beautiful patterns in the sky.

I wanted to remember most the silhouettes of catamarans, couples strolling and the long palm tree shadows. Taking photos into the sunset darkens the foreground objects and often there isn't any detail beyond the outline of the silhouettes. With paintings that loss of detail can be eliminated because my eyes didn't black out the objects, but rather they can register the foreground information. Here are some sunset paintings that really do not do justice to the real scene.
