Often when the tide is receding, interesting shapes are created by the water before slipping back into the sea. On this particular evening the bright orange of the western sky, as well as the blue to the east, both reflected the colors on one small point of beach. The dark sand in the shadows created a fascinating shape.
You may notice the carefully placed horizon is at the 1/3rd mark of the canvas. The higher point of the dark sand is very close to the center. The carefully laid out composition adds to the sense of peacefulness my paintings convey.
