Artwork location: United Kingdom
This stunning artwork captures the awe-inspiring magnificence of a sunset over the ocean, blending realism with an impressionistic flourish that commands attention. Dominated by a symphony of vibrant hues, the sky is ablaze with shades of fiery orange, deep magenta, and soothing lavender, seamlessly transitioning into softer blues and greens. These colors appear to radiate and dance across the expansive canvas, encapsulating the dynamic and ever-changing nature of the dusk sky. The sun, positioned low on the horizon, becomes the focal point, its golden orb casting a serene reflection upon the calm, rippling waves of the ocean below. This reflection extends towards the viewer, creating a sense of depth and drawing one into the tranquil yet dramatic scene. The interplay of light and shadow is masterfully depicted, with billowing clouds catching the last light of the day, their edges illuminated while their bodies cast gentle shadows over the water. The shore in the foreground is painted with meticulous detail, showcasing wet sand that subtly glistens with the sun's final reflections. The delicate texture of the beach, combined with the gentle ebb and flow of the tide, adds a tactile dimension to the piece. The artist's technique is assertive and confident, with bold brushstrokes that give life and motion to the clouds and waves. This energetic brushwork contrasts beautifully with the softer, serene elements of the composition, encapsulating the dual nature of sunsets—both calming and stirring. Overall, this artwork is a masterful depiction of nature's transcendental beauty at sunset, harmonizing color, light, and texture to evoke a sense of peace and wonder. It stands as a testament to the artist's ability to convey the sublime and ephemeral beauty of a moment in time.

Presentation
After leaving Art School, Nick has pursued his career as a professional artist for over 30 years and today whilst having enjoyed a wide range of disciplines, including large scale mural paintings in the palaces of the Middle East, he now concentrates on canvas painting and especially the tree series. He is particularly inspired by the Brecon Beacons, Wales.
His work is about paint and surface, warmth and light but mostly about a sense of being.
He says of his work "Being at one with the natural world, I try to find colours that will fit my sensation. I am obsessed with colours and the physicality of paint. My subjects are simple and yet are the life forces for our existence on this little planet. Sunlight, precipitation and vegetation."
