rothko's "blue, green, and brown"

There's something about Mark Rothko's paintings that I am always drawn to - perhaps it's the simplicity of shape, sometimes subtle and always intriguing use of colors. Here's one of Rothko's pieces, called "Blue, Green, and Brown". To me, this painting reminds me of looking out at the horizon in the evening. What do you see when you look at this Rothko? 

I captured this photo while on the beach in Miami. The sky was dark with clouds rolling in, creating dark shades of blue in every direction. As soon as I saw the little image I captured with my iPhone, I immediately thought of Rothko's painting.
