Taken at a lake in the Lake Desire Natural Area about twenty minutes from home. I know the second image is the money shot, but I really find myself drawn to the first, where I was lucky enough to get light that reminds me of the works of a nineteenth-landscape painter whose name I should remember, but dont.

(32,144 posts)We've been getting sunsets with the same color changes from blue/white/yellow to pink/blue here recently. I go out in my courtyard to watch them, although last night it was all about shades of orange.
Are you thinking of William Turner?

(26,645 posts)Theres the famous Romantic painter J.W.M. Turner, and theres also William Turner of Oxford, as he is commonly known. Personally, I think my first photo more closely resembles the landscapes of the latter, but its entirely possible that I first encountered both of their works at the same time, and developed a collective impression of their style, not initially realizing they were two different artists.
