The setting sun by Michael Hanrahan

Beautiful flowing light Michael.

Perfection!

Thankyou sandra. Thankyou Thalia. Thats praise indeed. Im very moved by your comment.

You do get a fantastic glow in many of your paintings - the viewer almost wants to shade his eyes from the sun. Do you employ glazing, work wet in wet .... I'm really not sure how you do it.

I work wet into wet these days robert. Usually each picture is done in one sitting. I used to apply glazes but now i feel this procedure is unnecessary. I dont do much mixing. I dont use a palette very much. I often place a small almost imperceptible white dot in the middle of the sun which from a distance gives it a little extra glow.
