I've named this piece Hurry On Sundown because of the obvious, it is a picture of a sunset. My other reason is that it is the title of one of my favourite Hawkwind tunes. I first heard this song when I was 2 or 3 years old after my mum had brought a Hawkwind compilation tape (Road Hawks). The first tune was Hurry On Sundown followed by Urban Guerrilla. The contrast between the hippy folk style of Hurry On Sundown and the heavy rock Urban Guerrilla was pretty effective. The album that Hurry On Sundown first appeared on was Hawkwind's first album (Hawkwind). There are two versions of this song, the hippy folk one and the psychedelic version later on in the album. I can't decide which version I like best.
This painting continues a theme of tree sunsets that I have been working on throughout this year. The earlier piece most closely linked to this painting is my drawing 'The Other Tree Sunset'.
