Description
"Sunset Sails"
What could be more beautiful than watching the sun setting over a body of water? Add a schooner under full sail, gliding through the water, backlit by an amazing sunset, and you will see something truly special! This is the essence of what I have tried to capture in my painting "Sunset Sails".
My inspiration for painting "Sunset Sails" came from photos I captured while visiting Key West, Florida. At evening time, throngs of people make their way to a waterfront pier, waiting and watching the setting sun put on its dazzling show of radiant colors. From a mostly quiet crowd, you can hear whispered expressions of oohs and aahs, as the glorious scene slowly fades to darkness. This event evokes memories of watching fireworks displays in the night sky.
What is it about sunsets and fireworks that beckons people to be drawn closer and look heavenward? Perhaps, it's the anticipation of witnessing something spectacular about to happen.
