Artist Comments
"On Tybee Island in Georgia, the locals are familiar with the back entrance to the beach where sunsets are an event," says artist Mary Pratt. "The sunsets change as quickly as the tides and project an array of color. I captured this scene on Tybee on a night that cast subtle orange and green reflections. Peaceful tranquility for a fast-paced, changing world."
