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.

At Sunset Beach, Treasure Island, Florida, the sun sets on the Gulf of Mexico. Many of us become enthralled with the magnificent sunset scenes and miss the other show which is gong on...the warm, amber glow that the setting sun sheds on the natural treasures of sand, sea grapes, sea oats and palm trees.beach  series paintings

If you've ever witnessed the entire duration of a sun setting, you've seen the effects created by that magnificent descending ball of light. Clouds quickly form, then change colors faster than the eye can keep up with. Of the many frames captured by my camera, I chose this one to paint.
