Chasing the Sunset

The sky and waters are amazing. They appear to be using similar hues but, somehow, you managed to incorporate that and still separate them. You can clearly see where one begins and the other ends. Not to mention the power behind each individual stroke. Even without the boat, you could still see the roar of the skies and the force of the ocean. Then there's the boat floating in the midst of the storm, all quiet and serene. It's a beautiful contrast to the background and a perfect centerpoint to the piece. This is, by far, one of my favorite paintings.
