Pastel on canvas, stretched and ready to hang.

Stormy Sunrise - Early Morning Walk is part of a series on stormy sunrise seascapes. I love the moodiness of sunrise seascapes.
This seascape includes two people with a dog walking on the beach at sunrise.
I enjoy working with pastel. Normally, the only drawback is that pastel drawings must be framed under glass to protect the delicate pastel finish. In this instance I chose to ignore the normal protocol of such framing, and to complete this drawing on canvas with a permanently sealed finish. Treating pastel this way chances losing the fresh brilliance that is the hallmark of pastel drawings, especially if light toned colours are used. I decided to take that chance and feel that I haven't lost the feeling that I wanted to capture.
Stormy Sunrise - Early Morning Walk does not need framing under glass or any form of framing. It is fully sealed and the pastel will never move.
It is perfect to hang in your office for that little bit of mental escape while enjoying your morning coffee.
