In stark contrast, the right side of the canvas is alive with a brilliant sunset, casting fiery hues of orange and red across the sky. These elements converge into a smoky swirl, suggesting an ethereal bridge between the tumultuous sea and the serene sky.Colman's use of radiant light and shadow not only highlights the central rock as a symbol of steadfastness amidst the surrounding turmoil but also reflects a deeper spiritual journey towards salvation. The diverse textures and colors enhance the painting's mystical aura, inviting viewers to contemplate the enduring power of nature and the human spirit's resilience.
