Coronella Sandy Bay at Night

This hand-painted oil painting depicts a tranquil nighttime scene of two boats gently moored in a quiet bay. The sky is a deep, velvety indigo, with subtle gradations of midnight blue and hints of starlight peeking through the clouds. A soft moon, partially veiled in mist, casts a silvery glow over the water, creating shimmering reflections that ripple outward with delicate texture.

The two boats—simple wooden vessels—float close together, their hulls painted in muted tones of navy, white, and weathered red. Highlights along their edges catch the moonlight, giving them a quiet presence amidst the stillness. In the background, the dark silhouette of a distant shoreline or bluff fades into the night, grounding the composition with a sense of calm solitude.

The brushstrokes are smooth and fluid, especially in the water, where cool blues, grays, and silvers blend to capture the gentle movement and reflection of light. The overall mood is peaceful and contemplative, evoking the quiet beauty of a calm night by the sea.
