"Sunset From Washington Island" is a compelling piece that captures the serene beauty of a sunset over a tranquil body of water. Measuring 9x12 inches, this artwork is crafted with colored pencil on blue paper, which brings an added richness to the composition. The scene vibrates with warm, luminous hues as the sun nestles near the horizon, casting its glow across the sky and reflecting on the water below.

Dynamic streaks of purple, blue, and yellow fill the sky, creating a dramatic yet calming atmosphere. The horizon is punctuated by the silhouette of a distant, dark landmass, which adds a sense of depth and mystery to the piece. The water in the foreground mirrors the brilliant colors of the sky, enhancing the overall feeling of tranquility and balance.

This artwork was inspired by the end of a beautiful day spent on Washington Island, Wisconsin. The memory of a peaceful evening after exploring the island's lavender fields, accessible only by bike, horse, after a 15-minute ferry ride, to get to the island, seeps into every pencil stroke. Through this piece, the viewer is invited to experience the unique stillness and beauty of a sunset that marks the close of a perfect day in a secluded paradise.
