Michelle Gapes, Dawn's palette: Ocean sunrises (LANDSCAPE 2024)

Breathtaking moments of sunrise over the ocean, where the sky ignites with vibrant hues of orange, pink, and gold, reflecting on the ocean waters below. Lichen-covered rocks create a stunning contrast, their rich textures and earthy tones accentuating the natural beauty of the coastal environment. Scattered across the shoreline, an array of shells adds a delicate touch, each one telling a story of the tides that have shaped them. Sunrise reminds us of the serene beauty of nature, a reminder of the awe-inspiring moments that greet us each day along the ocean’s edge. It serves as a celebration of both the vibrant colors of the sky and the quiet treasures found in the interplay of land and sea.
