Two Book Reflections

I’ve been told that when I visit my hometown, Port Orchard,  Washington, that I get lost in the view.

Dad must have taken hundreds of pictures of sunsets, so I’m not alone. 

We were visiting my brother’s house, a new build which takes advantage of The View, so my symptoms have only gotten worse.

Here is a sunset with hidden mountains in the clouds.

Here is my try to recreate it in guache on a gesso panel.
