A painting from the perspective of a boat, with the corner of the stern visible as red orange hues coat the ocean and hazy Golden Gate bridge and lights on the bay in the distance.

This was a focus on atmospheric perspective, so I wanted to make the depicted smoke feel as palpable as possible while still conveying depth and distance. It was based off a photo my fisherman father took at 10 AM from his boat passing under the Golden Gate bridge, during the rampant California fires of 2020. Aside from the density of the smoke, I also wanted to capture the urgency in the colors of the image - apocalyptic reds and yellows surrounding the light blue safety vessel that is the boat.

A watercolor painting depicting a gravel path with two benches to the left and right. The path extends between the benches and curves to the left. Trees covered in moss can be seen in the middle-ground, while the background contains dense woods. Patches of green grass can be seen to the side of the path.
