Sunset Wave

A3 original alcohol ink artwork on Yupo paper (with mount)
 
This A3 alcohol ink painting, titled "Sunset Wave," captures a moment of pure oceanic drama—when the sea curls in perfect form beneath a sky painted with the hush of day's end.
Dominating the composition is a striking, spiral wave, rendered in soft shades of aqua, white, and icy blue. The curling crest feels almost sculptural, as if frozen in motion, its tail stretching out like a ribbon across the water's surface. There's a graceful momentum to the shape, an elegance that speaks of both power and poise.
Beneath the wave, the sea transitions into bands of lavender, amethyst, and deep mauve, echoing the soft afterglow of a sunset sky. These purples ripple gently across the canvas, their transparency allowing light to shimmer through the layers, like reflections on wet sand or shallow water.
The background sky is a tranquil gradient of dusky grey, blush, and pale gold, suggesting the final light of the setting sun melting into the horizon. The whole piece hums with movement, reflection, and stillness all at once—a quiet celebration of nature's rhythm.
 
As with all original artwork  non reflective glass is highly recommended  when framing as it protects the painting.
