Sunset at Moonstone Beach, Cambria, California.
View from a sailboat becalmed at sea, in the tropical doldrums. I was inspired by a verse from the poem; "The Rime of the Ancient Mariner," by Samuel Taylor Coleridge.
"Day after day, day after day, We stuck, nor breath nor motion; As idle as a painted ship, Upon a painted ocean."
This painting is an ambigram. You can view it upside down.
Windy late afternoon winter sunset view from Spyglass Park in Pismo Beach; looking toward the breakwater at Port San Luis, California.
I encourage viewers of the scene to imagine themselves riding on the breaking wave; moving toward the shoreline on a warm summer morning.

Red sky at night, sailor's delight. Red sky in morning, sailor's warning
This is an ancient mariner's rhyme. The scene is a red sky over the reflective sea. You pick the time of day... The ancient "red sky" weather concept is also found at Matthew 16:2b-3 of the New Testament.
