Summer Sunset Island

A small rocky island with two tall evergreen pine trees sits at the center of a still mountain lake, perfectly reflected in the water below. A large crescent moon dominates the upper left of the composition against a vivid gradient sky transitioning from deep coral-pink at the top through orange to warm amber at the horizon. Soft teal-blue mountain ridges frame the background. The palette is bold and saturated — hot pinks, oranges, and deep teals — giving the scene a dramatic, almost surreal twilight mood. Fine star-speckled texture in the sky adds depth; moderate detail in the foliage and reflections makes this an intermediate-level landscape.
