Summer Sunset

An artists paintbrush splashes againt a white canvas, like the sun on an untouched sea the palette of vibrant colours the same as the rays of light reflecting off the waters surface. Wielding his brush in between his fingers, he mixes two colours carefully, blurring the line between the water and the beach. He paints yet more, leaving strokes of fading yellow, vibrant red and pink upon the sea's deep blue ripples and frothing crests, the sun's image shimmering on the surface. Intricately he constructs serveral palm trees, their leaves tickled by the wind, their bodies forming delicate shadows dotted all around the beach. Ethereal rays of light illuminate the idyllic scene, a majestic combination of ruby, violet and gold. As the final strokes are set and done, the silent painting jumps into a cacophony of life. The cry of seagulls. The neverending crash of the sea, palm trees swaying gently in the ocean breeze as the sun slowly sinks beneath the waves. Ah! A summer's sunset
