First Light Spectacle

This painting is purely from memory and a vivid evocation of sunrises that I've witnessed during my trip to South East Asia. People always seem fascinated with them so I wanted to capture its peacefulness and beauty. The use of warm colors like yellows, reds, and oranges complement the cool background colours of purples and blues.
