This vibrant impressionistic painting of Cape Town, South Africa, shows the Cape Grace Hotel on the right side of the painting and Table Mountain in the distance. The water in the foreground literally shimmers with the primary colours afforded by the old wooden boats in the harbour. This wonderful impressionism acrylic painting is alive with colour and a joy to view.
Beautifully detailed, the painting is almost three dimensional and one can see and almost hear the ripples in the water created by the boat as it flows past this magnificent sunset at Cape Town's Waterfront.
This painting measures approximately 84cm by 47cm (33 inches wide x 18 1/2inches high) The painting is gallery wrapped, so no frame is necessary.
