Night at the Museum

The title of the artwork is Sunset at Sea by Thomas Moran. This work invoked strong feelings in me and was comforting. The light coming through the clouds above the murky and rocky sea creates this idea of optimism when things get hard and dark. Not only is it a beautiful painting but it is inspiring and able to capture what so many people go through in their lives. The idea that light and hope will come through is powerful, and the ability to capture that symbolically using nature is captivating. Nature and the sea can go through turbulent times but the sun will shine again, and the same is true for us and our lives.
