The Belt of Venus (also called Venus's Girdle, the antitwilight arch, or antitwilight) is an atmospheric phenomenon visible shortly before sunrise or after sunset, during civil twilight. It is a band of magenta - ranging through to ochres and greens - that surrounds the observer in a wondrous glow, extending roughly 20 - 30° above the horizon.
Today I'm painting on a large canvas (92x122cm or 36x48 inches) completed in the studio. The subject is from one of my little Plein Air studies, created on a recent and memorable painting trip. My choice of medium is oil paint, applied with palette knives.
