A Break In The Clouds

A Break in the Clouds, by Maurice Sapiro, portrays a distant shoreline under a heavy, cloudy sky, with the light of the sun streaming colorful rays through the haze. This painting contains rich, orange and red tones on top of greens. 

Award-winning artist Maurice Sapiro captures the beauty of Nature through his unique depictions of a singular moment beyond a traditional landscape. His seamless ability to extract light and shadow from color allow each of his pieces to illuminate any space they are presented in.
