This piece strongly gives the impression of the sublime I was specifically looking for. The scale in conjunction with the colours gives the viewer a sense of warmth and happiness. An interesting point to note though is that Turner himself saw the the activities of the sun during the day as a lifetime. It is born in the morning at sunrise and dies in the night at sunset. From this I can draw parrellels to my project in the sense that if I can capture a sunset it will further emphasise the deteriation and death aspect of my piece.
