Sunset at the Whitsundays, Australia

16”x 12” Watercolour painting on cold pressed paper of the sun setting from Long Island, Whitsundays. This painting is a memory of a trip my husband and I took earlier this year to the beautiful island. There were many breathtaking sunsets, with amazing rainbow colours and this was just one of them.

the glow of the night
is such a sight
shadows approaching over the land
painting the sky with a rainbow wand….
