Bracklesham Sunset

Posted on September 3, 2020 by Glen

This is a larger piece painted on with acrylics on canvas, measuring 594 x 840mm and  completed in June 2020. On the horizon is the Bembridge coastline of the Isle of Wight disappearing into the orange glow. My aim with this piece was to capture the intense colours of the backlit cloud and reflections on the wet sand of this deserted West Sussex beach.
