Great atmosphere Sophie. Looks like rain may be brewing with the great clouds on the top left! Could this be the calm before the storm...

Gosh! Thanks everybody for your lovely comments. It's not the palette of colours I usually use and I normally avoid sunsets so I am thrilled with the positive feedback.

Fantastic use of colour and composition, love how you draw the observer into the painting to the horizon, up, around to the clouds and down to the bottom line of the sea, which is actually the reflection of the clouds in the sky that the viewer was looking at previously, and then to the central line of the boats. Very cleverly put together and wonderful colours, very Falmouth!
