Sunset on the bay

Pastel by Stan Sperlak

 

Upon the bay

by Jack

 

Burning hot

Chilly cold

Violet skies

Wrapped in gold

Shadows deep

Cut the sea

Broken lines

Temptingly

Tinted haze

Set in blue

Fading fast

The final view

Twilight time

End of day

The setting sun

Upon the bay

My favorite time of day at the beach, twilight and very early morning when only you, the waves and birds are awake. Lovely, your words sum this up as a captivating view. The picture is perfect as are your words to describe it.

Thanks so much dear Frieda. I believe the painting is of the Delaware Bay at sunset.

It's stunning, I've seen this same view from Silver Beach, the painting brings it to life....

Reminds me of many of the nights I spent on watch on the california coast, watching the light fade over the horizon. The world holds much beauty, and it's a sad commentary that almost all of it is accidental in the cosmos.

[Jack...]

Kenneth, I appreciate your kind words.

[Shivam Murari]

You are a stunning poet, Jack. You managed to rhyme, set the meter, set the aura, and affect the reader with just a two-three-words-in-each-line poem. Brilliant!

[Jack...]

Thank you so much sir.

Beautiful imagery in this one, and compliments the painting perfectly. As a matter of fact, you paint with your words; in soft even strokes you create a picture we can all visualize even without the beautiful pastel as accompaniment.

[Jack...]

Wow, what a compliment. Thank you so much Sarah.

[Emerald Seas]

You matched the painting perfectly with your words. A simple structure that compliments the painting and connects both pieces of artistic expression. Well done!

[Jack...]

Thank you for your kind words dear Sera
