New Day, Sunrise
Palette knife painting
oil on gesso wood ply panel
20x30cm ( approx 7x12 inch)
Available on Daily Paintworks
After beautiful sunsets for the last three days, today is grey. The only colour I would need to paint today's sunrise would be Paynes Grey. I delved into my photos and found this one from last November, also taken from my balcony at home.
Both sunsets are the view from my balcony with just a slight turn to the south for today 's painting.
About this painting
I painted the panel with a ground of pale lilac and blue. This gives a more subtle effect in the background than using my usual pink ground. Somehow I do miss that sparkle from the pink, so maybe another sunrise on a pink ground will be coming up.

You can see how the layers were built up in these crops.
GREAT Looking!

ReplyDeleteBeautiful knife work! You are funny too. I actually love the color Payne's Grey. It can soften so much in a painting, I find it a bit magical. I know others love the color Ice Blue by Richeson; it too is magical when mixed with so much, but quite a different effect.
ReplyDeleteVery nice painting - and very nice that you get to see the sunrise from your balcony! The colorful one's are always such a treat!
