Post 227: East Coast Beach Sunrise

Painting Name: East Coast Beach Sunrise

A beach sunrise from here on the East Coast - North Carolina is where the original photo was taken. Big orange and pink sky chasing the night sky away. It sure makes a dreary day feel better!

SKU: 12GF21ACG

Medium: Acrylic

Size: 20x20 Gallery Wrapped Stretched Canvas

Price: $700

Edition Year: 2021

Framed?: No

Commissioned? No

What Brought About this Painting?

I don't usually sit on a painting for very long - wait, that doesn't sound right. That would stretch a canvas rather horribly. I mean that usually I paint and post it then move along. This one has been waiting to get varnished...then waiting to get wired...then waiting to get its picture taken.

Actually, I should have thrown in that I did adjust the shadow on the bird too. See if you can tell from the other photo. 

But I HAD to get him done - its an end of year thing you know. So here he his, let me know what you think.

I started this one earlier in December 2021, so check out the original post at:

Here is the other post too. Hmm...2 in progress posts.

Post 218: East Coast Beach Sunrise In Progress

Painting Name: East Coast Beach Sunrise

The inspiration of a sunrise on the East Coast of the United States.

SKU: 12GF21ACG

Medium: Acrylic

Size: 20x20 Gallery Wrapped Stretched Canvas

Price: $Pending

Edition Year: 2021

Framed?: No

Commissioned? No

What Brought About this Painting?

I haven't traveled through the United States all that much so my "view" is limited as far as sunrises. I have been to a few of the beaches in Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina and Florida a few times to see the sun rise out over the water with many of those views being quite spectacular. 

A beautiful sunrise is a great way to start a day, in my belief. We have to remember who our Creator is and the beauty of the world He (originally) gave us. Like the beauty of a rainbow, a colorful sunrise, really the breaking of a new day can be such an inspiration to thank God for that love He hands to us and for us each and every hour of every day.

The actual inspiration for this painting came from a picture my cousin, Dwayne Jackson took and he commissioned a painting from me based on that image called, "Sunrise at Nags Head, North Carolina". See post https://donnascavepainting.blogspot.com/2021/04/sunrise-over-nags-head-north-carolina.html

I knew I wanted to paint more sunrises, so this painting is a continuation of that theme.

I have only been to California once to see the sunsets out over the water to the West (and WHY I don't seem to have pictures of that, I do not know.) I'm not sure their sunsets can be as awesome as an East Coast sunrise!

Post 217: A Painting in Progress East Coast Beach Sunrise

Painting Name: East Coast Beach Sunrise

I haven't painting a sunrise in awhile so it was time. Here is the painting in progress.

Size: 20x20 Stretched Canvas

What Brought About this Painting?

When I painted "Sunrise Over Nags Head North Carolina", I really enjoyed painting the oranges, yellows, pinks, lavenders and blues of a sunrise - the sun making its daily progress of a day, showing its face over the water of another day.

The beginning of a sunrise...

Saturday, December 4, 2021

By the way, watching the sunrise this morning was pretty awesome, even from here in Woodbridge, VA.

Saturday, December 4, 2021 8:45 pm Did some time today at Stonebridge Open Space Arts - met some wonderful people that were very excited to see ART in Prince William County! They had no idea there was anything going on with the arts here. Amazing.

Sunday, December 5, 2021 8:41 AM: The painting is coming along.

Please note that the actual sun is coming through window blinds on the right side, hence the odd shadows on the top right. Ok, listening to church online and back to painting...

See the completed Painting at (coming soon)

Post 103: Sunrise Over Nags Head North Carolina, 16x20 Acrylic Canvas

Painting Name: Sunrise Over Nags Head North Carolina

After painting this sunrise, I know I want to paint more sunrises and sunsets. The colors are so glorious to try to get them just right!

SKU: 04BF21ACG

Medium: Acrylic

Size: 16x20 Gallery Wrapped Stretched Canvas

Price: Not Available

Framed?: No

Edition Year: 2021

Commissioned? Yes

What Brought About this Painting?

I have a cousin that is a very good photographer. Wait. I have several cousins that are VERY good photographers. One of my cousin's that took the photograph wanted a painting done from a photo so here is the result.

This was a fun painting to do - because of all the colors! I think I used every color known to man, or at least a version of it.

I think I am about done with it. I am still studying the canvas to see if anything feels odd or out of place. If I change anything, I'll update the photo(s).

Now for the actual photo (below) that the painting (above) came from...

Some artistic license, but the general atmosphere is there I believe. 

And the proud owner of the painting...April 30, 2021

About this Painting…

I was thinking about asking my Facebook and Twitter fans to "name a painting". That could be fun at some point to do. A contest! Makes me think if there would be any interest in it. I wonder how many would have suggested "Swan Lake" for this one.

A mountain painting with the sun rising through a gap in the mountains, a lake with a single swan pictured. The sky is all shades of yellow, pink, orange, white, blues, greys and lavender.
