The power of this painting is in the simplicity of the seascape.
The tension between sky and sea, at dusk as the sky still holds the luminosity of the day, yet the sea is darkening in its depths is what makes it such a special painting.
 
the sky has been built up in layers, then polished back to reveal the elements of gold patina that gives it the ethereal light I am always seeking in these cloudscapes.
