There is a lot of rhythm and surprise in this painting. A vibrant fluorescent yellow sunrise becomes the first thing you see. There is such a spectrum of color in nature, and certain colors against other colors become, at times, unreal. A lot of what we see in nature we take in as a definition of something, but if you try to replicate it in painting, it becomes unrealistic to expect the viewer to believe in it… like a florescent multicolored bug or certain bird colors. The mountain silhouette has rhythm and is a great transition between the sky and earth. My favorite part is on the left side on the yellow band of light where the darker part of the sky falls into the sunlight. It shows the untethering of the sky or atmosphere to the earth. The sky and earth clearly do their own thing yet work together for our survival.
