Description It's better in twos. Nothing and nobody should be alone, right?
=======================
For #100Themes Challenge [link]
Variation 1, Theme 3 and 4 (Light/Dark)

I still can't decide whether to put it under light or dark, but I think this is the beauty of sunset. There is the idea of savouring the last bit of light from the sun as it subsides into the horizon while at the same time darkness takes over. I think both light and darkness play equally important role in this painting, so putting one without the other would not make any sense.

This piece is absolutely amazing! I'm terrible with traditional media myself, but you seem to have a real handle on acrylics here!

I think the only critique I have for you is that the warm colors (oranges, reds yellows) are a bit overpowering, and a little more cool colors (blues, purples) would have put a finishing balance on the piece.

However, I still adore this painting and think that you very accurately captured the stunning "dilemma" between light and darkness at this time of day. Keep up the good work

Wow. Yet another beautiful painting. I love the silhouettes, though I wish they were more dstinct. The birdsare a nice touch, and I love the light AND dark theme. Great job.
