The Flats - This oil painting on stretched canvas depicts the late afternoon or early evening when the tide is really low and the ripples in the sand reflect the waning light, small puddles of water are the only thing that is left behind when the tide recedes and the sand is luminescent with the last light of day. It is an original and a one of a kind and belongs in the series of tides, clouds and time of day. The painting is executed in artist quality oils on a gallery style stretched canvas, varnished and ready to hang.
