Among his fellow painters, Theodore Lukits was especially known as a painter of sunsets. He loved transcribing the most transitory of nature's moods, and capturing the setting sun - with intense colors that may only remain on the horizon for a few minutes - was a challenge that he embraced. When a day was cloudy, Lukits liked to rush to a good vantage point where he could capture the drama of the brilliant color coming through the clouds. On other days Lukits would rise early so that he could capture the bright light of the rising sun. These sunrises and sunsets reveal Theodore Lukits at his best.     TNL 316,   PTNL 314,   Pastel on Paper ,    11" x 15" "Spring Sunset" (circa 1924, California Art Club) TNL 316,   Pastel on Paper ,    11" x 15" "September Sunset" (circa 1925, California Art Club) TNL 059,   Pastel on Paper ,    9" x 14" "Shining Through" (circa 1926, Lukits Art Trust) TNL 062,   Pastel on Paper ,    9" x 13" "Migration at Sunset" (circa 1926, California Art Club) TNL 098,   Pastel on Paper ,    9" x 11" "Sycamore Sunset" (circa 1928, Lukits Art Trust) TNL 522,   Pastel on Paper ,    9" x 13" "Fields at Sunset" (circa 1926, Lukits Art Trust) TNL 098,   Pastel on Paper ,    9" x 11" "Sycamore Sunset" (circa 1928, Lukits Art Trust) TNL 504,   Pastel on Paper ,    11" x 15" "Rising Sun" (circa 1928, Lukits Art Trust)     > Gallery 2
