Red Sky

MARTHA MARKS COMMENTS ON BERNARD MARKS’ VIVID PANORAMIC WATERCOLOR “RED SKY”:

This was the west-facing view from our house atop a hill northwest of Santa Fe. Every evening, in every kind of weather, we enjoyed watching the sunsets or storms play out over the Jemez Mountains. Often we saw them both at the same time.

On this particular evening, it was a typical stunningly beautiful Jemez Mountains sunset, filled with brilliant red, yellow, and blue tones.

“Red Sky” and “Sunset Rain” are the only sunsets Bernie ever painted as panoramic watercolors. They’re also the only ones he chose to keep, rather than selling through a gallery. He had them professionally framed as a set, and that’s how we have enjoyed them over the years. I will only sell them now as a set.

NOTE: We can now offer top-quality giclée prints of both these paintings, either at their original size or double the size. See below.

If you can’t get enough of New Mexico sunsets, be sure to check out: “New Mexico Red,” Sunset Riders,Sunset Over Abiquiu Lake,” and Sunset Over White Sands.


This original framed “Red Sky” is available as a set with “Sunset Rain.”

Supersized top-quality giclée prints of “Red Sky” on thick matte paper are also available.

Contact Martha Marks if you’d prefer one or both prints in their original size.
