Violet Eventide at Wells









Violet Eventide at Wells

7 in. x 14 in., acrylic on canvas

$200 unframed

I have spent so much time at Wells Beach, enjoying the waves and sunshine, but some of the most magical hours have been in the time when the sun is setting or has just gone down. The skies and the surface of the ocean are changing color rapidly, darkening to violets, sapphires and deep teals.  When a burst of the last reflected light breaks through the percolating cloud cover, or the moon rises, there are silver reflections dancing in the sky and the water and across the beach. This painting tries to capture this window of waning evening light.
