PEI North Shore, Facing West, 40x32" (2021)

The summer of 2018 found us on Prince Edward Island, in a relatively remote and quirky seaside VRBO near Abrams Village. The hosts, who also lived on the property, were friendly, and they encouraged us to make use of their lawn and fire pit. Sitting there, perched above a red sand beach, we enjoyed amazing views, including clear-weather glimpses of the New Brunswick coast in the distance. The nightly show, aka the sunset, was beyond words. I really wanted to recreate the feeling of that moment in time, including the flecks of light reflected in the water as the sun sank below the horizon. Though it took me a few years to get around to painting this view, it's a timeless scene, and I love the results.
