SOLD! Please email me at JamieWG@aol.com to inquire about a similar painting.

This is painted from a photo I took on a morning with an amazing sunrise. I saw the turquoise and pink sky, threw on my jeans, shirt and coat, and dashed out to the lakeshore to take pictures. At 16×20, this is a nice size for that special wall. In spite of the brilliant colors, it has that wonderfully serene feel to it that only a spectacular sunrise can bring.

Palette:
Cadmium Yellow Lemon
Permanent Alizarin Crimson
Cerulean Blue
Cobalt Blue
Viridian
Titanium White

Ohhhhhhh! Great sunrise painting!!! I love it! Sometimes I think sunrises are more special…most of the world is asleep and only the lucky ones are awake and looking. I’m like you. I’ll dash out and take photos, even if I’m in my nightgown. Unfortunately I can’t see the sunrise from my home, but I make sure I look for it if we’re anywhere near the water on the east coast.

The swans in the beautifully colored water really bring this piece together. I love it!!

Something to say?
