Sunrise. Shelley Beach. Caloundra. Qld

I've always said that sunrise and sunset are the best times of the day. It's when the world awakens and it's getting ready to go to sleep. I love the quietness just before the sun breaks the horizon and the colours are amazing which caught my attention in this piece. This would look lovely in any room it was hung in. I painted this one in acrylics on stretched canvas.
