Sundown at Port Isabel

8x10 Oil on board

     Just when I was having pretty good luck using greys, I came across a sunset with  beautiful warm sky!  I'm also a sucker for lighthouses.  The lighthouse at Port Isabel was a little disappointing as it is located in a very congested area, full of restaurants, shops and traffic!  

We stopped by the lighthouse at sunset one evening and I thought the colorful sky, and silhouetted palm trees simplified the busy area.  I also used my artistic license to remove some traffic lights and electricity poles!
