Evening Combustion (Wells, Maine)


Evening Combustion (Wells, Maine)

16 in. x 20 in., acrylic on canvas    
$260 unframed

A new coastal image, this is a larger piece, painted on a black-primed canvas, which makes the colors laid over it especially luminous.  This is what the setting sun looks like over the salt marshes of Wells Reserve behind Moody's Cottages in Wells, Maine.  The sunsets over the tidal area where the Webhannet River meets the Atlantic are never the same from evening to evening, but explosive skies spattered with great swaths of clouds set ablaze are always stunning, regular occurrences.  This was a fun one to paint!
