I have seen some Florida Gulf Coast sunsets. They are amazing. I can see how that would inspire you. Nicely framed. Well colored. Soft but detailed. Good luck and thank you for sharing.

Oh what a soothing and peaceful scene. I really like the colors you used, especially the browns in the sky and shore grass. The blue of the water nicely frames the shore and area around the sun. A uniquely different perspective for this sunset. Great work. Perfect entry for the contest. Best of fortune ~ Steve

Aptly captured for the contest theme...
An impressive artwork rendition.
Colorful creation with excellent fine strokes & smooth textures.

Good compositional style. Great overall impact!

Thanks for sharing...




Any view of the white sand?

Doesn't this just reach down into the soul and bring to light the longing of the heart. This is gloriously beautiful. Look at the subtle colors you have used to encapsulate the glory of the sunset. Just a magical moment.

I love this pastel, the beige sunset. Makes it a nice neutral feel to this. The composition with the three birds are brilliant. No negatives back just good work thanks

    Thank you. But I?m confused. 4.5 stars indicate that it needs work. What would you have me change to improve it?

    I can handle constructive criticism without being offended so you can be honest. It?s the only way to get better.

    honestly this is a great piece of work, maybe a bit more orange but then it wouldn't be what it is

    Ok. I was just confused by your rating. No problem

This is a very nice artwork and a good contest entry. The blue and gold colors give this a very soothing and relaxed feel. The composition is well framed. Overall, this is very pleasing to look at.

Comment from liseworks


this is so well balanced with the blue part of the sky matching the water,,,the suns rays trying to come through the golden clouds and reflecting on the water, the framing of the dry grass on the shore,,a hope of a beach one we come through this opening

Comment from El-mundo


A wonderful drawing utilising pastels here, with a wonderful view of the beautiful yellow and orange sky which is slightly framed by the same coloured corn tha t grown from the ground in front. The blue sea contrast nicely with these and is drawn carefully rolling out to the horizon, the sun reflecting back over it's calm waters, that match the sky well and makes for overall a great, classic sunset picture, good work :)

Wonderful art with gorgeous blending of colors and beautiful
Golden tones. Like the small detail with the birds and reflections. A very warm and cozy feeling given off by this.
Beautifully done.
