Art of the Week - November 3
I have no idea who painted this or what it's called. But it's striking. A flaming, almost organic, sunset over a dark sea. One of my favorite activities is to drive out west of my house (which is surrounded by trees) and find a treeless hill to watch the sunset. The Great Plains have unsurpassed sunsets. The ocean, too, apparently.

I like it. So... Is it one of those public domain images? May I steal it for a potential eBook cover? =]
I have no idea. I googled "images modern art" and this came up on the first page. I thought it was a William Blake illustration at first but couldn't find any info on it. Bummer.
I have your answer, my friend. :)

Happy to be of service--and sooo glad to see you. My mother has been in the hospital, and I have not been around. (She's doing well now)
See you around....:)
