Between the Sun and the Moon by Don Demers.

 

"I have always been fascinated by dusk," says artist Don Demers, "with the changing color of the light. While the sun performs its swan song with an elaborate display of reds, oranges and yellows, the night is beginning its serenade of blues and greens. It's a quiet time of the day, but the peacefulness is often contrasted by a full spectrum of exciting colors. These conditions are often best observed along the coast, and a sailing vessel drifting homeward on the last breath of the day's breeze can witness the sun's final color as well as the rising moon." Between the Sun and the Moon is Demers' third Greenwich Workshop release. As you'll surely see in this and his previous releases, Nantucket Morning and By the Old Boat House, Demers is a modern master of his medium. "Like any skilled portrait artist, Demers is able to give life and personality to his subject," Yankee Magazine says. "His skies can look menacing or serene, fogbound or idyllic. He can create a spectrum of seas ... sparkly or frothy, wind-whipped or flat."
