A second print I was able to complete with this round of printing. The photograph is from the view of a sunset from a Caribbean beach. Having owned a 36' Morgan Out Island for some years, sailing is dear to my heart. Seeing the sailboat cruising south, across my view of said sunset, it was one of the 'gimme's' a photographer is handed every once in a while.
I interpreted this image slightly differently than the original real deal. Sun sets have many layers of yellow ochres, oranges, and reds of many hues. Being color blind in red/green, that is dicey territory to be working in. I simplified the sunset sky to the rustic orange of skies over Caribbean Islands I had seen so many times. This was a six color print run. What I was after was the transition from the blue of the water in the foreground and the warm earth tones of the sky that met it, right at the edge of the sailboat's path.
