Sunrise completed

Apologies for the long absence but I've been away over the festive season. It's pretty hard to get back into painting after a break. I'm struggling to inspire myself despite the fact that I saw lots of beautiful scenery in Tasmania.


This sunrise painting was completed priorto my break. Ha ha. I've hung it up in my lounge and feedback is that people noticed it and liked it too. Using Carla's tips, I've knocked back the reflection and occasionally when I catch a glimpse of it, I'm impressed with the realistic way the sunlight is peeping out of the clouds.

Although I think I should do a couple more skies for the practice, I have not had the opportunity to observe a sunrise recently. The sun gets up far too early and as for sunsets, unless you live in WA they are just as elusive.
