This was in an exhibition which finished last week so I was able to photograph it today and it does have some figures in it so I can post it with a clear conscience.
Acrylic on Arches hotpress watercolour paper a little bit smaller than A3.

October 29, 2018 at 9:20 pm #718732Thanks dawnra, it was a beautiful beach to stroll along day or night.
Earl, Thanks. I was alive when I painted this in September The sources are photo and imagination. I spent 3 weeks on this island and took hundreds of photos to use for reference one day. The scene was full of boats and people can’t have all of them cluttering up my painting. I just loved the sunsets I saw and thought one day I will paint them. I didn’t copy the photo just used it for reference.

I don’t want to be critical in any way with the construction of the figures
but it really does capture that feeling of a walk along a beach at sunset :thumbsup:

November 4, 2018 at 1:55 am #718736The sunset light is well caught. The figures are a bit on the wee side but still do their job in the composition.
C&C always welcome.
