U.S. Virgin Islands

The U.S. Virgin Islands — including Saint Thomas, Saint John, and Saint Croix — are known for their tropical beaches, lush hills, and radiant skies. As the sun sets over the Caribbean Sea, the islands light up with spectacular color displays — glowing cloud formations, vivid oranges and pinks, and reflections on calm coastal waters. Palm trees and coastal silhouettes add structure and rhythm to the horizon. For artists, this region offers rich opportunities to study tropical light and sky dynamics. These references are ideal for practicing atmospheric color transitions, expressive cloud shapes, and compositional layering between sea, land, and sky. Let the bold drama and soft warmth of a Caribbean sunset fuel your next piece.
