Sunset - set


In this picture, there are boats sitting calmly in the water. The sunset is reflecting upon the water, but the water ripples are clearly present within the reflection. The boats aren't very visible because of the setting. The setting would be late afternoon, going into the night. It's starting to get darker and dim. The black shadows in the background are mountains, but are already dim because of the timing. 
The orange and red sky has a bit of white-ish lavender streak into the sky just to illustrate the idea that the day time has not fully left. The sun is just started to set behind the black, red, orange and blue streaks of shadows and illuminations. The mood of the painting would be mellow and calm. There is no presence of waves rushing, just the boat set upon the waters.
