Anatomy of the Sky at the Moment of Sunrise

The image was taken in the open seas of the Caribbean and is part of the collection called “Anatomy of the Caribbean Skies”, and specifically this grouping of 4 images shows the  early moments before and after sunrise.

This is the second image of the 4 part sunrise series and was taken 2 minutes of the sunless heaven – first in the series.  In this instance the moment of sunrise brings light to the darkness, as the sun pokes its head from the blanket of the ocean.  The sun shining illuminates the clear sky.

The heavens are 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 with an orange optimism in the cloudless sky.
