Sunset and Torii
2008
Oil on canvas
29" x 21"

Due to the popularity of my Red Leaves and Torii painting, I had the idea of doing more torii in different locations, but using the same idea of combining different shades of red and orange.

It ended up being a lot more complex than I thought, elements such as light, the direction of shadows, plus getting the ocean to look somewhat natural all took a lot of time, and I'm still not really sure I'm satisfied with the end result.

This particular scene doesn't actually exist, I took inspiration from various photos of torii, sunsets and oceans.
