View from Patio Sunset and Night

The view from the patio is quite nice if you ignore the buildings across the street. There is a prominent tree line and some interesting apartment buildings on the horizon that change in apearance with the time of day and weather conditions. In the painting I infused the sky with fiery orange and yellow, with a neutral tint on the middle and the remains of the blue sky.

The next painting was done an hour later, looking over to the highway and treeline. Just like in Canada, the sky was a dark purple-red hue that I mixed with indo blue (PB60) pyrol red (PR255) and orange (PO32). The stars are just bits of the paper left showing. I've been working on night scenes for some time now so it was neat to try it here in Brazil. The patio is on top of the garage surrounded by a fence so it was secure up there.
