Dolphin Leaping at Sunset Original Drawing

This physical artwork features a centralized composition of a leaping bottlenose dolphin set against a vibrant sunset over a deep blue ocean. The piece is executed on paper, likely using a combination of colored pencils and possibly soft pastels or oil pastels to achieve the blended gradients in the sky. The color palette is striking, utilizing brilliant oranges, yellows, and deep reds for the sky, while the water displays various shades of teal, indigo, and bright white for the sea foam splash. The dolphin itself is rendered with realistic grey and charcoal tones, showing attention to light and shadow to create a three-dimensional effect. Notable features include the detailed reflection of the sun on the water's surface, mirroring the sky's warmth. The artwork is signed 'Brittany' with the year '2026' in the lower right corner, suggesting it is a contemporary piece, likely created as a hobbyist or student work. The paper is mounted or framed on a black backing, which provides a sharp contrast to the colorful composition. Condition-wise, the work appears well-preserved with no visible fading, tears, or smudging, showing the crispness of a recently completed piece. The technique displays a good understanding of color blending and anatomical accuracy in the animal's form.
