Ocean Sunset Painting - Evening Tide


Evening Tide
24x36 inches, acrylic on canvas

This is a rather impressionistic abstract ocean sunset painting done in my signature style involving many, many layers of colour.  It's this journey in painting, where small bits of colour are applied to eventually make up the whole, that I find so fascinating.  

Though I had worked on this piece for many hours, and stared at it intensely while doing so, I was not able to see the larger emerging patterns clearly enough to appreciate them until I took the painting outside to photograph.  

Then, when viewed from a distance, the painting came into focus.  Like the pieces of a kaleidoscope clicking into place, every dot and dab of paint suddenly had its place.


This painting has been sold.  To see available paintings,
