Into The Blue captures the quiet transition between daylight and dusk, as the last warmth of the setting sun settles along the horizon. The glowing sun becomes the focal point of the work, creating a sense of distance and stillness within the expansive landscape . The work is influenced by the changing moods of the Australian coastline and the dramatic relationship between sky, sea and light . The strong contrast between the warm horizon and cool blues reflects with fleeting natural light , particularly those brief moments at sunset when familiar landscapes become intensely colored and almost abstract.
