Evening Glow over the Gulf

Evening Glow over the Gulf, 20x30, oil on linen, available

Seems appropriate with Hurricane Dorian wrecking havoc and approaching the east side of Florida to post this recent painting from Florida's west coast. A bucolic scene if ever there was one.

Here we have the proverbial walking on the beach at sunset. What can I say? It was a beautiful time spent on  a Florida key near Tampa Bay. The light was just perfect. It isn't a dramatic sunset but these calm colors are soothing to the soul sandwiched between the gathering clouds and the still warm sand.

Overall the colors are impacted by the sunset except that one little slice of cool blue water. The long triangular shape of the water is repeated with a bit of cooler sand in the path in the lower right hand corner.
