I love the scenic views in Galveston. On the day I saw this scene, the water
really was almost that blue. Sometimes, when there is the right convergence of tides and light, the water has a jewel blue quality. Most of the time it is more of a dark greenish blue or (too often) brown. But even when the water isn't pretty, the evening brings a golden/rosy tint to everything, and the clouds in the light of sunset are often spectacular. I guess it's like that everywhere, but I seem to see it better here, perhaps because we're so close to sea level and there are not a lot of hills or tall buildings to block portions of the sky. This painting is one of my husband's favorites. (No. 34, 8x8", on Raymar panel, Sept. 27, 2012)
