Oil painting of the front of a building with ornate columns and many windows. The windows are reflecting the blue sky and the building has a warm, yellowish face. Pigeons are sitting on the various overhangs of the building and several are flying through the scene. The painting is a wide, landscape orientation.

Sedona, AZ
Private collection.

#painting #landscape #landscapepainting #oilpainting #art #artist #arizona #sunset #goldenhour #sedona #sedonaarizona #usa #redrocks #moon #crescentmoon #twilightsky #cloud #solitarycloud
Framed oil painting of a sunset landscape with a warm, dark, silhouetted mountain range at the bottom of the composition. Above it, in the middle of the painting, is a solitary cloud painted in dark oranges and purples. At the top right is a small crescent moon with a very small white dot of the planet Venus to its side. The sky starts off as a very saturated orange along the horizon but fades to bright teals and blues in the middle and then dark blues at the top.

Landscape painting of Sedona, Arizona. A towering red rock mountain range is in the middle-right of the composition with blue-tinted mountains visible in the distance. The sky is a cloudy blue with oranges and pinks toward the horizon where the sun has set. The city of Sedona is in the foreground, dotted with suggestions of homes and buildings, loosely painted.

May 5 (Reuters) - The European Union and France on Monday announced half a billion euros worth of incentives to lure scientists to the continent, seeking to profit from U.S. President Donald Trump's federal funding cuts and clashes with top U.S. universities.

At midnight, a 104% tariff will be slapped on Chinese imports. It will be interesting to see the reaction of trump’s cult on their next trip to Walmart when they realise that prices have doubled.
