As the Light Fades captures the quiet poetry of boats at rest, illuminated by the final glow of the day. Gill Storr uses her distinctive combination of bold colour, layered texture, and deconstructed imagery to evoke both the movement of water and the stillness of twilight.

Beginning with a photographic study, Gill reinterprets the scene through expressive brushwork and rich tonal contrasts, creating a composition that balances abstraction with recognisable form. Hints of light ripple across the surface, drawing the viewer into the shifting atmosphere of dusk on the water.

This work reflects Gill’s deep fascination with the rhythms of the sea and the symbolic power of boats — vessels of both journey and contemplation. As the Light Fades is a painting that invites pause and reflection, offering a moment of calm and connection with the natural world.
