Sun rising
This is a contemporary, expressionist watercolour painting of a sunrise over the ocean. I wanted the composition radiate energy and spontaneity through its uninhibited brushstrokes. I wanted to capture the raw essence of nature in motion and in a fleeting moment. When I was painting this the sky was alive with pink hues, blending seamlessly into the gentle light, so I used pastels which I felt would define the sea below. The ocean reflects a serene interplay of colours, adding depth and tranquillity to the scene. I wanted the work to feel emotive and atmospheric, with its bold yet fluid style embodying the spirit of dawn’s awakening.
