My Barquisimeto, is called the twilight city. And with good reason, because it is a twilight factory, and its light, is an immense source of inspiration for me. And this time, I went back to doing a job that involves the colors of a twilight, and a peach tree with its flowers. I hope you like it.

Painting process
1
The first part consisted of assembling and ordering the canvases. With scissors, I cut and framed two small canvases of 30cm x 25cm. Two medium canvases of 60 cm x 40cm, and a large one of 80cm x 60cm.
2
I started the painting by making a gradient of black towards crimson red. The acrylic paints allow a good handling of the gradients, since they take time to dry, and it is easier to mix the colors.
3
Continue with the gradient in the second piece of canvas, starting on the left side with orange, going through yellow tones and some touches of white. In this work, light colors would go in the center, and dark colors on the edges to get a nice contrast.
4
On the center canvas, I painted the sun melting into the twilight, and I used different shades of yellow, orange, and red on the edge of the right, to continue with the gradient on the remaining canvases
5
In the last canvases on the right, I made the gradient from red to black, to achieve the desired contrast.
6
I painted the silhouette of the peach tree with black color.
7
Next, I used pastels colors for the flowers, and in the center of them, dark red to paint their interior.
8
Finally, with yellow paint, I gave some light reflections to the trunk of the tree, and thus obtain the final result.
