I had previously painted a smaller version of this sunset scene on Treasure Island, Fl.. That painting sold quickly. I then had a series of note cards made and they were very popular, so I decided to paint this larger, horizontal version. I lightened the sky, added more red accents to the beach, and made the water a little more intense.

The title sounds philosophic, but the painting simply depicts early morning and a soft, peaceful place on the beach at Pass-A-Grille, St Pete Beach,Fl. I've painted this scene before in pastels...this is a version of it in oils.
