About this painting …

The title  comes form all the people on the beach engaged in some form of yoga or meditation that morning …. all gathered to experience and connect with the light of the new day – the magic of the dawn. It is also the title of a Song that I have been writing for some time here in this Caribbean region of Mexico.See the notes on the back of the piece in the gallery images.

 

Series Notes: A Caribbean sunrise painted in watercolor in Puerto Morelos Mexico, (South of Cancun). These paintings are a meditation on the ephemeral nature of our experience. The world is in constant flux and I am drawn irresistibly to the dance of color that is the morning sky. Water color is a perfect medium to flow with the rapidly changing sky – it’s advantage is the spontaneous gesture and clarity that is possible with just a few well chosen marks – one needs to keep moving forward as the work develops – forgoing fussiness in favor of unexpected synergies. The goal for me is to capture the feeling of the particular day – it’s fleeting character – be it calm or blustery – cloudy or clear – authenticity of experience conveyed to the viewer – the emotion of color and mark unfolding in real time. Each work carries a description of the day to help contextualize the image with the cauldron of experience that helped bring it forth. Sometimes shorebirds or Herons sneak into the workload their particular magic to the mix.
