Description
Sunset over Water – an impression with a palette knife
An impressionist seascape with a palette knife at sunset: a pink sky, a red-orange flare at the horizon and a wide water field, split turquoise on the left and blue-green on the right, with a dark reflection of the sun falling down the centre: the sky above carries pale pink and cream knife strokes with a grey-lilac cloud bank on the right.
Technique & Texture
At the horizon the red-orange flare opens most strongly at the centre above a dark navy waterline, with a warm gold-pink spot where the sun sits. This is a hand-painted painting on canvas – the knife layers are thick and malleable.
The Motif
The water field below is turquoise-teal on the left half, worked in large knife sweeps, deep blue masses lie right of centre, and on the right lies a lime-green mass with yellow accents; a dark navy vertical reflection falls from the sun through the whole lower half. Turquoise water and a fiery horizon – a sunset caught in malleable colour.
Styling & Placement
A soothing abstract painting for living rooms, bedrooms and bathrooms; the turquoise water refreshes, the warm horizon warms. Wall art for rooms that love the sea.
