Looking out from a grassy coastal bluff, a sandy path winds through dune grass and clustered wild roses toward the shoreline. A calm evening sea stretches beyond a curved beach, with a lone sailboat far out to the left and a distant headland with a small cottage anchoring the right.

The low sun fills the sky with layered clouds in gold, coral and lavender and sends a shimmering reflection across the water. Atmospheric haze softens the distant hills, while thick impasto dabs shape the sunset clouds and rose blossoms and softer, blended strokes carry the sky and sea.
