"Break of Day," Celebration Series 17/25 - in progress

"Break of Day," Celebration Series #17/25 in progress

"Break of Day" has two new images after a very long break from all painting due to life challenges. It feels good to be painting again, though because of interruptions while working I didn't get as far as I'd desire.

There are minor changes since the last session. The sun is lower on the horizon, the colors around the sun and in reflections are more subtle, and the morning star has appeared. At the time of year being painted, it's probably the planet Jupiter. A couple of gliding seagulls will glide into the scene when I've finished blending the blues of sky and the glow on the horizon.

My intention is that no matter how light or dark this painting's surroundings are, it glows, and pulls you into this peaceful early morning moment on the shore.

This is a 6" x 12" x 5/8" oil on finely textured, portrait grade canvas. The painting continues around the sides o it can be put in a float frame or simply displayed on a small easel.

As always, original paintings are always best seen in person to be fully appreciated. If you plan to visit the area anytime soon, I hope ypu will come see "Break of Day" in person before it finds a home. It can be purchased in this last stage of progress below.
