Pink sunrise

This paining is based on a video I took in Florida. I love morning strolls on the beach, the quiet time when you can be alone with nature. That morning I was rewarded for getting up at dawn with a beautiful scene of a backwash wave splashing high into the sky, its foam capturing the sun colors. The sky was painted with soft pastel hues blending pinks and blues and a hint of warmer tones with the sun just out of the view.
I practice traditional technique of painting in thin layers, starting with a tonal underpainting, taking my time with each piece and enjoying the creative process. I use professional grade oil paint and glossy varnish to protect the painting from sun and dust and to keep the colors bright and fresh.
