A symphony of colours: My new impressionist painting - ‘Daybreak Muse’

One of my favourites, this is ‘Daybreak Muse’ a recent impressionist sunrise.

I so enjoyed painting this. To be honest it had a few ‘lives’ along the way but it suddenly just worked when the colours, light and blending all came together. The glow descends from the clouds right down to the horizon. That was created with multi layers of different colours to enhance the depth of the natural beauty. Behind that the warmer tones shine through.

I used big brushes in a circular motion to create movement but intentionally used fewer brushstrokes to keep it impressionist and then blending to capture the light and evoke an atmosphere of an inspirational morning…………that first glow as the day starts.

‘Daybreak Muse’ is quite an unusual size but it works. It is from my current series that can be seen on my ‘New Works’ page on my website.
