Mill Hill Park Sunset (9) Original by Diana Sandetskaya

Acrylic on canvas
 
This is one of the series of paintings of Mill Hill Park sunsets. I have been observing sunsets there for a while, capturing the most striking ones in my paintings. I was inspired by colours of the sky, light of the setting sun, silhouettes of trees in the distance, the goalposts and the quiet, peaceful feeling of the passing day. 
 
Mill Hill Park is my local park, where my family and I spent a lot of our time, walking the dog, meeting friends, or just briefly passing through. During the lockdown it has become much more of a centre of local life. Even though it is the same place, it is also different every time, depending on weather, light, season, time of the day or time of the week, our mood or company - sometimes empty and desolate, sometimes quiet and romantic, bustling with life and energy, often presenting stunning skies, sunsets, colours and scenes.
