Two Boats at Sunset

The advantage of the Gulf Coast are the sunsets.  If the sky is not clear no two are alike.  This painting was very low stress to paint.  It was easy to work different areas.  I under painted with orange in the water and much of the sky.  The water is usually darker than the sky.  One photographer said he liked sunsets with lots of foamy waves.  I think it is most important not to have hard edges in the sky and do not over due the color.  The subdued color of the water and sometimes the upper sky intensifies the fire.
Sunsets are a low light situation.
