White Sailboat at a Magenta Sunset

A white two-masted sailboat lies at anchor in a bay at sunset, with dark boats resting further out on the horizon. The sky burns in bands of magenta, orange and gold, and the still water repeats it in violet, pink and cobalt. Laid on in thick palette-knife strokes that catch the light.

The sky burns in magenta, orange and gold, and the small white sailboat is the one calm, light shape against it. The palette-knife strokes are thick enough to catch the light, so the water seems to move as you walk past.

A bold, warm seascape for a living room or bedroom that welcomes strong colour. At 70 × 50 cm it looks best on a plain white or grey wall, where the magenta can glow.
