This large oil painting, "Sails Ablaze", captures the vibrant energy and glowing warmth of an evening on Balboa Island. Inspired by small sketches and plein air studies that I completed on location, this large painting celebrates the memory of a serendipitous detour. One golden evening, stuck in traffic, I veered to Balboa Island and found myself amidst a fleet of colorful sailboats dancing across the water. The orange sails, luminous in the fading light, move gracefully under a warm breeze, embodying the spontaneity and magic of painting en plein air. The painting reflects the joy of embracing unexpected moments, with bold colors and dynamic movement bringing the scene to life.
