As the winter months pass, it is a special time here on the beach in West Wittering, the light changes as the evenings get lighter. I love this time of year because of the spectacular sunsets, I was particularly pleased with this painting as I used a new palette of colours to really capture the subtle colour changes on the sky.

The golden sun setting over the horizon creates a beautiful reflection on the water, with purples and blues dominating the sky while touches of pink and orange warm the scene.

This moment of dusk has a tranquil quality that I wanted to preserve in my brushwork, allowing the textural elements to convey the peaceful atmosphere of the coastline.

Working on "Dusk in the Witterings" allowed me to explore the richness of twilight colours that make this particular beach so captivating as day transitions into evening.
