The sunset by the sea remains one of the most beautiful moments to capture. The warm colours of the setting sun, the quiet sound of the waves and the shimmer of the wet sand combine to create an atmosphere of tranquillity and inspiration. In this digital painting, created from a photograph I took myself, I have tried to capture that special feeling of stillness and wonder.
Using modern digital painting techniques, I have enhanced the reflection of the sunlight on the beach, adding to the golden glow and soft light of the evening sun. The lone figure in the distance symbolises the moment of contemplation that many people experience at a sunset by the sea - a time to muse, let go and enjoy the now.
Reverie on the Beach is an ode to nature, to the light of the sun and to the power of digital art to capture an emotion beyond words.
