About the Item

"Cape Cod Sunset" - Watercolor on Paper Colorful sunset painting by San Francisco and Provincetown artist Robert Morgan (American, 20th C). A house sits on top of a hill lit up in orange and yellow reflecting the colors of the set sky in this impressionist watercolor. Cape Cod, a popular summertime destination, sits on the hook-shaped peninsula of the U.S. state of Massachusetts.

After graduating from the Kansas City Art Institute and moving to San Francisco, Robert Morgan (American, 20th/21st Century) returned to Provincetown to study watercolor with the late Lee Boynton at the Cape Cod School of Art.
