Small original oil paintingof the sun setting over San Francisco Bay, seen from El Cerrito, 8x6 inches, with a blazing orange sky over dark hills and water and a deep violet foreground below.

The sunset burns in layers of orange, coral, and gold under a band of cool gray-green sky. Low hills and points of land stretch across the horizon in dark silhouette, and the water between them picks up the last warm reflections. The whole bottom half of the painting drops into rich purple shadow.

I kept this one simple on purpose: a strip of fire in the sky and a big field of violet dusk. It's about that moment when the land goes dark and the sky is still burning.

The bold orange and deep violet make it a striking accent for a bedroom, office, or modern living space.

Part of my fall series of small paintings, each one a single moment of light.
