The Alamogordo-Tularosa has so many fiery sunsets that many are not believable. They are redder than looking into a really hot fire and it's all over the sky. Friends send photographs to me and they are great, but because they are so much one color they won't make a good painting and that's difficult to explain. This one had more colors so I gave it a try.
