Story / Additional InfoPhotos were taken several feet from a large window, no flash. Very cloudy day so no sun, but general diffused daylight. Colors range from pink near the horizon, to bright blue near the dead tree, to variations of greys, blue greys, green grey, off white, beige, brown, black, etc. The photos were not touched at all, and believe the painting it brighter in person, but the colors in these photos are fairly accurate. Perhaps a cleaning to remove old varnish would make it brighter all around. However, this does depict a storm/wind and so there is no bright sun - but a great piece that captures the 'mood' and almost a chill in the air as the numerous well-painted seagulls soar in the skys over the turbulent seas on Long Island.
