Abstract Design - Oklahoma Sunset at Night

You can see the detail of the frame and how the geodes fit within this design.

In the evening during the summer months - the sky turns a bright magenta or burnt orange color. Swirls of orange, purple and blue radiate in the sky. Oklahoma sunsets are just beautiful. The black jack trees hold their silhouette against the colorful sky. The fields of golden wheat still glow at night.

The sunlight lights of the bright sky.


I wanted to add just a little blue at the base of the design. The colors are unique to the Oklahoma sunsets. The geodes came from my friend Jim. He found them in Missouri last spring. They are gray, black and creme colored. They fit well within the waves of this design. The oval frame had a mirror inside of it and came from Sarah, another artist in our gallery. This piece if three feet at its highest point and approx. two and a half feet wide. It will be on display in my SPIRIT OF THE WEST Art Show in April 09.
