Sunset

This is acrylic on canvas. The main colours used are: greyish blues, yellows, oranges, browns and blacks. I also used white for highlighting.
I included a perspective on this picture, and I think I have been successful in capturing the perspective - it makes me want to sit at the end of the pier! I was inspired by a picture i found in a photography book (black and white) and modified it to make it my own by adding some colour.

The sea is another one of my favourite subjects to paint - I love the sound of the water crashing against the rocks and the image of the sun setting in the background. It makes me feel at peace. It signifies the end of one day and the start of another day, another (another painting :) ).

This is currently my daughters favourite piece.
