Sunset at the sea

Golden sand, rising waves, and the sun shining through the water

There is a moment at the beach, just as the sun is setting, when everything turns to gold. The wet sand catches the light and holds it, glowing like burnished metal, and the waves - still rising, still translucent - become lit from within as the sun shines through them, amber and copper and the deepest warm orange. It lasts only minutes. This painting captures it.

A study in the truest sense - small, direct, and painted with the immediacy that this kind of fleeting light demands. Oil on extra fine handmade linen board, it has the richness and warmth that this medium brings to light on water, and the intimacy of a work made in response to a very specific and very beautiful moment. A painting for anyone who has ever stood at the sea's edge at sunset and felt the world briefly turn to gold.
