You have been one of my favourite artists for years, but this strikes me more than any of your other pieces, for one simple reason; the sky. In my opinion this is no question your best sky so far. The sun seems to explode out of the atmosphere like a smoky firework turning into a great bird flying through the sky.
The water is of course beautiful, reflecting the light perfectly but not distracting from the main action. The mountain makes a great natural break between water and sky so there isn't any muddling or too much blurring from one to another, and the boat is a nice addition making the bottom half more visually interesting and balanced.
I love the contrast of the warm colours next to the cool ones. This also lends to the eye towards the main focus of the piece, the sun and the clouds. Overall, a stunning work!
