Emily has created a painting rich in colour which reflects a sunset behind Penshaw Monument. Again Emily has used her vivid colour palette. Rich reds, oranges and yellows depict the painting. She has added a floral display at the bottom of the painting which is splashed with colours to represent flowers.

The brick work is an orange colour as well. This reflects the colours used in the sunset.
