Anatomy of the Sky Before Sunrise

The image was taken in the open seas of the Caribbean and is part of the collection called “Anatomy of the Caribbean Skies”

The sky is a rich resource for the artist.  The art is part of a series that explores the changing vista of the heavens.  It is also a rich resource for moods and inspiration; gray skies, blue skies, sunshine, the rain, sunrise and sunset

In this instance moments before sunrise brings light to the darkness, just before the sun pokes its head from the blanket of the ocean.  The sun shining illuminates the sky with an orange optimism in the cloudless sky.  

Description

“Anatomy of the Sky Before Sunrise” 

The sky is a rich resource for the artist.  The art is part of a series that explores the changing vista of the heavens.  It is also a rich resource for moods and inspiration; gray skies, blue skies, sunshine, the rain, sunrise and sunset

In this instance moments before sunrise brings light to the darkness, just before the sun pokes its head from the blanket of the ocean.  The sun shining illuminates the sky with an orange optimism in the cloudless sky.  

The art piece is dominated by orange light and the promise of a rising sun that already illuminates the vista.

And I’m feeling good”  ― Leslie Bricusse, The Leslie Bricusse Songbook

“The chief beauty about time
is that you cannot waste it in advance.
The next year, the next day, the next hour are lying ready for you,
as perfect, as unspoiled,….”  ― Arnold Bennett
