I love this and it's colors. It's warmth is very evident and has a almost serene feel to it. Great job. It's a perfect entry for the contest. Good luck!

Comment from Dick Lee Shia


A colorful golden hour creation rendered with a blazing horizon.
Cool blue sky lends a soothing reflection.

Thick impasto strokes suits the foregrounds better and a smoother skyline would give us a farther perspective...
Just a personal opinion though...

Still a gorgeous presentation!

    Thank you, Dick, for your nice review. I don't often use mainly a palette knife, which I did for this one, so it's mainly impressionistic. Suzanne

I just love the texture and bright colors of this painting ! I really love how you used your complimentary colors and even though it is rather abstract I can imagine seeing foliage and a distant island or cliff in the background just a wonderful piece !

Comment from ArtistCharles


Nicely executed image. Not totally realistic I refer to this style as a representational abstract. Good colors, nice representation of the reflection. Interesting composition. Good use of the medium. I like the heavy paint strokes. Well done.

I like the bold strokes with the knife and that the texture of the canvas board is clearly visible. The colors are vivid and intriguing. The sunset might be imaginary, but I clearly see the forces of nature. This semi-abstract seascape is well composed. It has a great perspective to the descending sun at the horizon and is well balanced by the land in the shadows at right.

This is a wonderful rendering of sunset in an impressionistic style! You have timed it well. I love the robust brush work! The light and shadows, colours and the composition have worked out well. Good luck!
