"Sunset"
Plein air painting.
The sunset in this painting is like a fiery symphony spilled across the sea horizon. Bold, vibrant brushstrokes capture the breath of evening: the sky blazes with swirls of pink and orange, reflected in the lively shimmer of the waves. In these expressive lines, there is freedom, emotion, and the magic of the moment. The painting draws the eye, immersing the viewer in an atmosphere of beauty where nature and feeling merge into one unforgettable vision.
The painting is stretched, has ready painted ends, ready to hang.
