 The proceeds from the sale of this painting have gone to UNICEF to help in Ukraine. To help Ukraine, and recieve a painting, please contact me.

 

 What happens when you are painting sunsets is that you work away steadily for ages then suddenly become aware that the scene has changed entirely.

 So you wipe off the painting and start again...and again...

There's no getting away from Monet with pictures like this, is there? The subject and and plein air approach are utterly dominated by him.

 It would be like playing reggae and trying to deny the influence of Bob Marley. 

 

Well, if one is going to have an influence, at least Monet is a good one to have...
