House by the Setting Sun

A vibrant, dreamlike painting depicts a historic coastal city on a tropical island at sunset. Atop, dominated by the President’s White House (in Washington, DC), the warm-hued buildings cascade down to the water’s edge. The sky explodes in fiery oranges, purples, and blues, with the sun casting radiant beams through swirling clouds. Golden lights from windows reflect beautifully on the calm, mirror-like sea. Distant hills fade into twilight, while small boats dot the water. The scene blends realism with fantasy, evoking serenity, wonder, and timeless beauty, an enchanting vision of cultural grandeur bathed in celestial light.
