Sunrise Sonata (12" Original Painting)

Product Details

A few years ago, I entered a group contest on Facebook. It was hosted by ColourArte (where I purchase my sparkly dry paints from), and the requirements were that each artist must create a painting using at least one ColourArte product, and we had to (more or less) use the palette from an artsy photo of a sunflower that was shared (last photo/collage below).

Now, I don't work with warm colors a ton because my preference is cooler tones (greens and blues) so this was uncharted territory for me. I was admittedly a little nervous, but I got to mixing paints. Some shades I was able to use right out of the tube or pot while a couple of others had to be custom mixed. Eventually, I settled on a combo I was happy with and got to painting.

To my surprise, I found that I really enjoyed working with yellow, and even after the contest was over (sadly, I didn't win lol); I continued to play with that palette and also began to incorporate shades of yellow into more of my pieces! It's funny how much creating a single painting can affect your style as an artist.

Now, while I do love this painting, I don't have the space to keep all of my favorites (at least, not forever lol) so I'm offering it for your consideration! Sunrise Sonata is a 12"x0.7" circular painting that has been signed, dated, and finished with several coats of gloss spray. Simple d-ring hardware has been added for ease of hanging.

This painting is a true gem. Don't pass it up! 🌻
