Estuary Sunset

All sky and water — the land here just a low band holding the two together. A strip of warmth at the horizon, the inlet picking it up and pulling it forward.

An original watercolour of a quiet estuary at sunset, on Arches HP 100% cotton. Tidal marsh and dark scrub flatten in the dusk; the sky carries almost all the work, cumulus catching peach overhead while the inlet threads that warmth toward the foreground. A study in horizon and reflection — the kind of view long English coasts and slow river-mouths offer at the end of summer days.
