Drift Into Gold is an impressionist coastal seascape oil painting featuring a sailboat on golden water, shimmering light, and a luminous sunset atmosphere.

Not every journey is measured in distance—some are measured in light.

This piece follows a sailboat through the day’s last golden shimmer, where water and sky dissolve into memory and possibility.

Part of my impressionistic-tonal Shimmer Series, it captures that fleeting alignment of light and feeling—when the landscape speaks in quiet volumes beyond words.
