The sunsets in the tropics don’t look like the sunsets anywhere else. The closer you get to the equator and the more moisture there is in the atmosphere, the more extraordinary the sunsets seem to become.

I’ve had some crazy dreams these last few months and I’ve been going through some of my old photographs of times we spent in Tonga and Fiji where we had some really spectacular sunsets.

This painting is mixed acrylic media and liquid gold leaf on canvas. It stands up on its own so you could pop it on a shelf or bookcase, or alternatively hang it somewhere for a fizz of stormy colour somewhere.

15cm x 15cm x 4cm, cotton canvas on a wooden stretcher. Varnished and finished with cold wax.
