Sunset art: solar power

Sunsets offer artists endless scope for inspiration as they seek to capture the luminescence and drama of end of the day. Sunsets have been a popular subject with famous artists of the past such as Monet and continue to be today with contemporary artists. Currently enjoying a period of being in vogue sunsets are one of the most sought after types of art...

Many sunset paintings, drawings and photographs feature the water and sky. This may be a tropical beach as the sun sets over the ocean horizon in an exotic honeymoon destination, a harbour full of boats as a summer day comes to an end, a river view by the waterside of the evening sky as the sun disappears from view.

The brilliance of a sunset illuminates the skies above and transforms the ordinariness of familiar local houses, trees, fields and landmarks. In many paintings, drawings and photographs a sunset is used as a dramatic backdrop with silhouettes on the skyline. Others solely focus on the sunset in its own right - the glorious glowing colours streaking across the sky in vibrant reds, oranges, yellows, pinks, purples, golds, coppers and the intense white heat.

Buy a piece of sunset art and let the sun shine every day in your home!
