Sunset Over the Glades: A Fresh 12x12 Acrylic Painting of the Florida Everglades

Glades Sunset Painting

Acrylic on canvas, 12x12 inches. Florida Everglades sunset. Loose, flowing brushstrokes and layered color suggest humid light and motion. Warm oranges and yellows meet cooler violets and deep blues. Silhouetted sawgrass and cattails set a clean horizon. Water mirrors the sky to carry movement across the surface.

Process: blocked the horizon and major color temperatures first. Built the sky in broad, wet-into-wet passes, then glazed to deepen glow. Used direct, vertical marks for grasses and tighter, horizontal strokes for water. Kept edges soft in the upper field and crisper in the foreground.

Composition: square format with sky taking the upper two-thirds. Dark vegetation anchors the lower band. Temperature contrast and value shifts create depth. Brushwork stays energetic but controlled.

Materials: fast-drying acrylics for efficient layering. Canvas texture shows through in thinner passages for subtle texture. Scale suits intimate spaces while holding strong color.
