Sunrise 2

I felt stillness around me this morning; at some point in the night the water and wind finally stopped, creating a quiet spaciousness to welcome the morning. It felt comforting and safe. After pausing for some deep, oceany breaths, I realized I only brought three colors of paint with me: dark blue, yellow and black. Luckily, I had primed the canvas with a glowing shade of light orange, and was therefore able to (almost) capture the beauty of the morning sun using this limited palette...adding plenty of water to de-intensify the hues. The orange/white from the background, still wet, added just enough of a glow...
