South African Sunset

This oil painting was done last summer in one day, and is based on a photograph that my friend, Monte Loyd, took while on a trip in South Africa.
I would love to travel to Africa some day, this is actually one of my goals, to spend a few weeks or a few months there, taking photographs and creating art based on what I see there.
This is my favorite of my own paintings.
I entered this painting in the 2008 Baker County Fair and it won first place.
I wish all my paintings happened as effortlessly as this one did!
