Watched the sunset this evening in Somerset Co. looking North.

Pastel pinks on the ridge, mixed with blues as the eye looks up, then gray.

To the west, a brilliant orange/yellow setting through the Pines.

I doubt I could do Oil...perhaps I'll start with watercolor. Right now I simply smudge colored pencils.

thank you for sharing your feeling, i felt like i was there :D when i first started doing oils i felt the same way you expressed about smudging the paint. it just take practice to slowly develop an idea about how the paint works...like our handwriting, copying a word dozen times to eventually develop your own. i am quoting a book here but cant remember the exact words but the meaning behind that is sometimes we think we are not creative simply because we are expecting to finish a painting with one try.
