‘Sunrise’:  The first of several depictions.   Acrylic washes, layer upon layer of color on canvas to create a moving composition that resembles watercolor studies.  ‘Sunrise’ and ‘Sunset’ were created while I was painting murals on canvas for an office in Washington, D.C. years ago.  I started these pieces sketching on paper with watercolor, exploring color harmonies.  Because I wanted to work with the same media I was using for the murals I set up large canvasses to work with on an easel in my work area.  The murals had details that took hours so what started as an exploration of color harmony also served as a way to relax, stay loose, enjoy a completely different approach and process.  As a teenager I can remember climbing up to the rooftop of our apartment building just to have a look at the sky it was always about the colors the wide openness and simplicity to quote myself “vast horizons full of possibilities”.  I can remember those skies to this day.  Sunrises and sunsets the greys and Prussian blues of incoming storms all of this would serve as inspiration much later on.  Experiences in nature have always shaped my work.  ‘Sunrise’ is a beautiful connection to all of that.
