DAY'S END ON THE BAY By Cecelia Lyden

oil/linen

16x20



It was a supremely beautiful evening that August night-gorgeous sunset , peaceful and serene. My daughter's home is situated on the Chesapeake where the South River runs into the Bay. There are water views on all sides of the house. I was in Annapolis for a few days to help her in her recovery from hip replacement, so I got to take many, many photos both night and day.

Beautiful! I've seen sunsets like this. Your clouds and the pier make it extra interesting.

Thank you everyone--I can't tell you how beautiful and how fleeting this cloud formation was--thank Heavens I had my camera with me.

Gorgeous is the best word for this (I think I'm the third person using it here)! I love the soft way you've painted the dock- nice contrast with the bold sunset.
