Blue Marlin Sunset

Blue Marlin Against a Burning SkyA blue marlin breaks the surface in full leap, its body arched and electric with cobalt and silver, spray bursting from the dark swells beneath it. Off to the right, a sportfishing boat rides the same water while the sun sinks low, spilling orange and crimson across banks of cloud. The painting trades in deep oceanic blues and fiery sunset reds, rendered in a realist style with loose, painterly brushwork. The mood is tense and triumphant, the moment right before the line goes taut.

Cobalt scales catch the last red light of day. It's motion, salt, and the thrill of the chase held still on canvas.
