Clouds and Sea

Large abstract seascape in acrylic on wood: a sweeping pink and crimson cloud across a turquoise sky, a deep blue and violet form entering from the right, a band of dark blue sea below a low horizon

I painted this in 2022, in a studio on a hill in Liguria, looking west towards the Côte d’Azur. Most days the sky did more than the sea did. This one came from an afternoon when the clouds went pink and kept moving, and I painted them as they came.
