Red Sunset - A painting a day-and a poem

I like this little painting, it would be great for someone who likes bright colors and moody skies .

Its a little larger than a daily painting but would fit nicely in a mat and 11 by 14 frame.

I was thinking about poetry last week and was reminded of this poem

"When Earth's Last Picture is Painted".

I'll post it here for all of you artists and art lovers.

When Earth's last picture is painted

and the tubes are twisted and dried,
When the oldest colours have faded,

and the youngest critic has died,
We shall rest, and, faith, we shall need it

lie down for an aeon or two,
Till the Master of All Good Workmen

shall put us to work anew.
And those that were good shall be happy;

they shall sit in a golden chair;
They shall splash at a ten-league canvas

with brushes of comets' hair.
They shall find real saints to draw from

Magdalene, Peter, and Paul;
They shall work for an age at a sitting

and never be tired at all!
And only The Master shall praise us,

and only The Master shall blame;
And no one shall work for money,

and no one shall work for fame,
But each for the joy of the working,

and each, in his separate star,
Shall draw the Thing as he sees It

for the God of Things as They are!

Rudyard Kipling- 1892
