Did you know that Key West celebrates the sunset every night at Mallory Square? They take their sunsets so seriously that cruise ships must put out from the harbor before sunset so as to not block the view!

Old Town in Key West, an area of only 8-square miles, was home to famous people such as Earnest Hemingway and President Harry Truman. Carrol presents this “Lone Bird at Sunset,” a painting based on her photo taken in Key West, to share painting cast shadows.

Each program of 2015 will focus on a particular skill. January is all about shadows and about creating this beautiful tropical seascape.

Another type of shadow called a proximity shadow is the dark shadow seen where objects touch each other. See the dark line between your closed fingers and you are seeing a proximity shadow.
